This little holiday cutie was made with recycled tees! In celebration of my next book (101 Tees - Lark Books - 08/2011) I am doing a years worth projects with T-shirts. You can find previous ideas here.
Materials Needed:
Green T-shirts to recycle. (I used 4 tees)
Pinking sheers or Rotary Cutter
Scissors
Wire Wreath Form
Ornaments
Hot Glue
Ribbon Bow
T-Shirts to cut. I like to use different shades of green tees.
14" Wire Wreath Form.
Rotary Cutter! This one embosses too!!! SEE My Tutorial HERE - very soon!!!
Let's Do This!
Step 2. Grab one of the strips.
Step 3. Fold it into a "U" shape.
Step 4. Place the "U" through one of the wires on the wreath.
Step 5. Bring the tails through the "U".
Step 6. Pull the tails.
Step 7. Continue until the entire wreath is filled in.
Step 8. Place the wreath on a protected work surface.
(hot glue will drip down)
Step 9. Spread the ties in different directions.
Step 10. Hot glue Ornament Balls in the spaces.
Step 11. Keep hot gluing ornaments.
Step 12. Tie a bow to one side.
That is it!
Simple,
Fun
and
Re-Crafted!
Happy Holidays,
Cathie
