upcycle!

I love to make things out of t-shirts.  Coincidentally, I have a huge basket filled with t-shirt scraps.  I decided to make a set of coasters using a rag-rug technique and t-shirt yarn.  I made a set of 4 coasters from tie dyed and plain colored t-shirts.  They turned out awesome.  They work really well to soak up any moisture and if they get dirty at all you can just throw them in the washing machine.



I also have several pair of worn out jeans that other people have given me to use for whatever.  I made these slippers out of a pair of jeans and some scraps of an old sweat shirt.  I drew the sculls and crossbones onto some felt, cut them out, and I hand-sewed them on.
