We started off the long weekend with the left over t-shirts from Amy's many quilts that she's made. Thanks Amy for saving them for us...keep them coming!
You can find the instructions anywhere on the web...we found ours on pinterest.
That's my mom cutting strips from the bottom sections of t-shirts making loops.
We only used 9 spokes since we used smaller hula hoops and weaved the t-shirt loops around the spokes until there was about 4 inches or so let at the end to cut and tie.
We found out the hard way to keep your weaving fairly loose or you'll end up with a bowl when you are finished. The finished rugs measured about 22" or so.
We also tried Sharpie Tye dying. That was really fun!!!!
Even my sister enjoyed herself...she claims not to be very crafty but every once n awhile I find one she likes to do.
We happened to have a whole container full of permanent markers and with some regular rubbing alcohol we spent a wonderful afternoon creating these t-shirts. You can also find the instructions for this project on Pinterest.
We also incorporated some plastic cups and rubber bands to create these circles.
I love how my flowers tuned out.
I've never had more fun with three plain white t-shirts and markers!
Keep creating,
just another
Craft Fanatic!
