So, Ive been having one of those days today... one of those "sleep in" procrastinate "feel sorry for self" procrastinate "avoid craft" procrastinate "why am i doing this project??" procrastinate... "clean house" procrastinate "put washing on" procrastinate... and when i couldn't procrastinate any longer I pulled out a box of old clothes and rummaged thru trying to think of an upcycling idea (and funnily enough it turned out really cool!)
finally getting started, with a box of old clothes
I chose this long top to upcycle
I chopped off the sleeves whole because I can turned these into arm warmers
cut into two, I am going to use the bottom half
start cutting neatly into strips
on both sides leaving a gap of approx 10-15cm in the middle
from here I folded it in half
from here I took one strip from the bottom fold and one from the top fold and threaded a bead onto it,
then I tied a knot to secure the bead
done!
Its a fun accessory, half necklace, half scarf
or wrap it around twice for another look
grrrrr its bringing out my inner tiger!
or as a belt??
or perhaps the modern indian headdress?
CRAFT OUT!!
xxoo
