Amy here with another tutorial. This one is fast, fun, and also budget friendly!! I like not spending money, don't you?! Well....let me rephrase that...my HUSBAND likes me not spending money :) So today we are going to be recycling something that I am sure many of us have laying around the house - Tshirts. My kiddos go through tshirts like crazy. They get stained pretty easily and I hate to just throw them out so I decided to figure out a way to use them and came up with a flower - because we all love flowers, right?! Let's get started!!
Supplies Needed:
*Tshirt (any color) - cut into strips. Mine is 1.5in wide and 15in long.
*needle & thread
*Glue Gun
*Circle for base. I used a Large Chipboard button.

Start off by creating a running stitch down the very center of your fabric strip.
Gather your fabric strip until you have about a 9in strip.Tie off the end to prevent it from coming undone.
Next we need to fold the fabric strip in half along the stitching.
Add a glob of hot glue to the center of your circle.
And begin to roll your fabric strip (still folded in half) onto the glue.
You will need to continue to add glue as you twist your fabric around still keeping it folded in half.Make sure to glue as close to the fabric as possible and keep your rolls tight.
When your done gluing down all your fabric strip use your fingers to pull the 'petals' apart until you get a look that is satisfying to you...and there you have it....our recycled tshirt flower! I would love to do one of these in a pink or red, I think that would be beautiful, but the only Tshirt I could find tonight was a grey one :) Maybe it's time to "clean" out my daughters closet!! lol
You are just too clever! I need a hot glue gun!
ReplyDeleteUnquestionably consider that which you said.
ReplyDeleteYour favorite justification appeared to be on
the net the simplest thing to bear in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get irked at
the same time as other people consider issues
that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as
neatly as outlined out the whole thing without having side-effects ,
other folks can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
Thanks
