TLC Family &Ultimate Guide to Recycled T-Shirt Crafts& - StumbleUpon You probably have a favorite T-shirt. You know the one you've worn until it's holey and ragged. Maybe it's from your first concert or your favorite vacation spot. Maybe it's your team's old logo, or a college favorite from decades ago. Either way, you can't bear to part with it. Unfortunately, your family also can't bear to be seen with you when you're wearing it. The flip side is that you probably also have a drawer full of T-shirts that you never wear. A great compromise for all those T-shirts is to recycle them. This article will show you just a few of the many crafts you can create from your recycled T-shirts, from pillows to rags to rugs. So before you sneak off and throw away your family's aging T-shirts, consider the crafting potential.
Free Sewing Pattern: Recycled Denim Scatter Rug Here's a denim rug recycled from a variety of thinner denim fabrics, such as those used for shirts or skirts. Joyce, the designer, drew inspiration from her Grandma B's hand-made scatter rugs, usually made with non-fraying double-knits. Although the denim version does fray, especially after washing, the homespun look that results has an appeal all its own. Joyce's denim rug is shown, above left, after completion, and at right, after washing and drying. Two jumpers, one dress, a pair of denim slacks, a work shirt and old denim skirt were all used in the construction. If you'd like to make your own, you'll need lots of denim to cut up into small rectangles, plus a larger section of thicker denim (pieced together to get the size you need, if necessary), as the backing. Denim Rug Instructions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Suggestions: About the Designer: Joyce is married to a handsome farmer, and has three children. Print this Page
Lunes Dream Catcher - How To NOTE: This post was originally published on April 20th, 2011. Supplies: large metal loop (wire macrame hoop) thrifted lacy doily (thinner fibers like doilies made of mercerized cotton work the best) small ball of inexpensive light weight yarn (cotton/poly blend for less fray) clothes pins or clips decorations (feathers, shells, stones, jewelry pieces) Instead of the traditional dream catcher style method of wrapping a loop with leather lacing (see here how to create a traditional dream catcher), I covered the metal hoop with a multi colored light weight yarn. If you've used a knotting method to cover your loop - make sure the braid is straight and decide which side will be the face of your dream catcher. Lay your doily in the center of the hoop to decide which way is up. It's time to start stretching and tying the web of your dreamer. I also left all ties with two loose ends dangling. I created another dreamer, this time with a beautiful piece of lace. Did you like this Lune DIY?

Two ways to reuse your bath puff | Salihan Crafts Blog Posted on Jan 15th, 2010 in Crafts, Knit | 54 comments My bath puff always comes loose after a few weeks and I just end up buying a new one. It seems such a waste. There must be ways to reuse or recycle the bath puff. I unravelled one that was destined for the bin. The centre cord that held it together just needed a little snip and the whole thing came loose very easily. There was nearly 2 metres of tube netting in that one puff! I’ve seen yarn sleeves made with a similar netting. Photo from Ozquilts.com.au I snipped a small section of the tube netting and stuck my pretty red yarn cake in it. My only concern is that when the ball gets really small, the netting will be too loose for it. Anyway, I still had a lot of netting left. I knitted till I ran out of netting and cast off. I wove the ends in with my fingers and reattached the hanging cord. Now for the test. It aced the pot scrubbing test but how will it go getting machine washed? So there you go! More ideas welcome. Thankyouverymuchly!
our home on the cover of romantic homes magazine! A huge thank you to everyone at Romantic Homes Magazine for their amazing article on our home. We were so excited to see our home on the front cover of the May 2010 issue! I was glad that my hydrangeas were still in bloom when we took these pictures. Those big pink popcorn balls added the color we needed. Romantic Homes Managing Editor, Meryl Schoenbaum included some of Steve's money saving design tips in the article. A few pink accents and some of my hydrangeas brought the outdoor color scheme into my kitchen. My terrible scans don't do Mark Tanner's photography justice! It really was a perfect day for a photo shoot. Mark Tanner captured the "tree house" feel of my bedroom. I was thrilled that they included my little vanity and Steve's pencil drawings. My little tub made it into the article too :) Check out the May issue to read Meryl Schoenberg's wonderfully written article and to view all of Mark Tanner's gorgeous photography! xo Brooke
Best of Vinyl Records. Even today vinyl records have a special place for those who like music. But with time they can get scratches and can also brake, then there isn't much one can do about it unless you are creative. Reshaping of vinyl is possibly one of the most amusing things, and creative designers have come up with lots of inventive ways to use these old vinyl records. Sound Wave: Artist Jean Shin created this sculpture "Sound Wave" out of vinyl records. Vinyl Sculpture: Brittany Harwood, a 15 years old girl created this sculpture for a scholarship program and its made from vinyl records. Vinyl Record Clock: Make a Dali-esque wall clock using a vinyl record. Vinyl Record Jewelry: Jewelry designer Tania Hennessy cuts vinyl records into fantastic shapes, with a strong focus on making the 2D appear 3D. Record Bowls: Designer Jeff Davis uses the unwanted records and creates them into functional objects: like these bowls. Vinyl Fruit Bowls: These are hand-made; each one uses a different record; thus each is unique.
Frame Groupings | trendey To me, this is somewhat typical (trendy) Stockholm style. The white backdrop, with some wood elements, and stylewise some distinct retro & industrial influences. And the globetrotter is there, in a poster and a throw that says New York, and an ethnic-patterned cushion. A creative vibe. Liking it!
