Green Fabric Flower!

So, last week when I posted the necklace that I made for my sister's birthday, I said that I would do a week of posts inspired by accessories made from old t-shirts that I found in my basement.  Consider this day one!  I used my boyfriend's old green t-shirt to create fabric circle cut outs that I used to make this green flower pin!  I wore the pin on St. Patrick's Day to go along with the rest of my green wardrobe!!  It could also be worn as a hair clip or attached to a headband or necklace!

Thrifting Tuesday....Freecycling!

I found a really awesome blog awhile ago.  It's called The Sisters Four Say More is More, and it is all about chic style and DIY fun.  I got inspired by all of their ideas on how to transform old T shirts into really cool DIY projects.  I started immediately storming through my basement storage boxes and finding old tees and other clothes that Drew and I tried to sell in a garage sale last year.  I wanted desperately to find something to make with all of them!  I think next week I am going to do a feature week of jewelry and accessories made from old clothes, and the best part is, they are all free because technically I already had all the clothes in my house!  So anyway, my sister Rebecca's birthday was Sunday, and I decided for my first project based on t-shirts to make her a necklace.  I used to wear the original t-shirt all the time in high school, it came originally with a matching boyfriend tank in a lighter hue underneath.  The fabric is so light and dainty, and I loved the final necklace!  My sister did too!  She was so surprised!

I gave her the shirt all wrapped up to surprise her....

She was definitely confused!

Until I gave her the final outcome!!!  I'm glad she loved it!
