T-Yarn at Michaels?

I thought it was funny...

While at Michaels yesterday (looking for stuff for my daughter's b-day party), I saw t-shirt yarn for sale in the center aisle! I don't think it was called the same and probably wasn't made out of recycled t-shirts, but it was the same idea. I was just surprised because I hadn't thought it had become so mainstream!

Here is the TUTORIAL I used to get started making t-yarn

(P.S. it's much less expensive to make it yourself~ especially if you use t-shirts you already have).

New: Upcycled T-Shirt Flower Brooch/Hair Clip

I added a new upcycled t-shirt accessory to my shop.

It's a flower brooch/hair clip:

Thanks for looking!

Custom Crescen-T

I added some CUSTOM upcycled t-shirt listings to my shop, so you can choose your own colors.

More Upcycled T-shirt Accessories

I've added more Crescen-T upcycled t-shirt accessories to my Etsy shop!

I've also introduced something new... the corsage bracelet. My 9 year old daughter loves wearing bunches of these, and they are much cuter than silly bands;) All of her friends love them too!

And here are a few more example pictures of what was added....

This necklace has already been featured in a treasury!

Thanks for looking!

Upcycled T-shirt Accessories

I have listed some of what I made from all of the T-yarn in my Etsy shop. I have decided to call it all "Crescen-T" to go with my shop's moon theme. I think the scrappy roses have become my favorite, and my little Sienna (pictured below) has become the perfect headband model:)

T-yarn

Oh how I've missed working with t-yarn!

I finally got to cutting up a bunch of t-shirts I've been collecting.

I can't wait to make something with all of this yarn!

Hope to share something (maybe more of these or these?) soon!

Goodie Bags for the 4th

I made these goodie bags for my three little ones.

They were 100% upcycled from t-shirts.

What's more fun than

getting a bunch of candy at a 4th of July Parade?:)

Hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July tomorrow.

These Will Make Your Necks and Wrists Happy

I added a couple new upcycled/recycled t-shirt items to my Etsy shop today!

I really love how this style turned out!

There are many ideas swirling around in my head...

so hopefully more to come soon!

I also hope to add a couple t-shirt shag rugs too:)

Voted off:(

I was voted off in the first round of SYTYC:(

But...I had so much fun!

Thanks to Missy for the opportunity!

I will definitely continue to follow and vote!

Here was my entry.

I will be posting a tutorial soon!

This is a project that anyone can do!

Also, Here is the "bath time" project that I made...

A t-shirt shag rug...made entirely out of recycled t-shirts!

Happy Earth Day!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!

The weather here is less than wonderful (maybe the Earth is trying to tell us something)...but that's okay!

Why don't you celebrate Earth Day today with some Earth-Friendly Crafts (via MarthaStewart.com)!

I'm sure that The Crafty Crow has some great ideas too!

You can find more of my upcycled bracelets here.

They're Back!

I have been thinking about my upcycled t-shirt cuff bracelets a lot lately! So...I decided to start adding them to my 3moonbabies etsy shop...

Hope to be adding some new ones soon!

I made a hoodie!

Thanks to the Recycled T-Shirt Hoodie Pattern by lilblueboo!

Next...I need to find some girly t-shirts, so I can make each of my daughters one! Sienna requested one with a rainbow. Hope I can find a t-shirt with a rainbow on it:) If not, I guess I could paint one! I'm off to the thrift store tomorrow!
