Easy Heart Bookmarks


Easy Heart Bookmarks

 
Need a cute bookmark in a hurry??

Follow these EASY steps and you will have one in 5 minutes!!

You need a rectangle piece of decorative paper or gift wrapping paper

Fold it in half so the patterned side is facing out

Now fold it in half to mark where the middle is

Fold over one end so the edge will line up with the middle crease (see photo)

Do the same to the other side

Flip it over

Fold down a small section of the two little ends
 

Now fold in little triangles at each corner on both sections.

We used some tape to keep the ends down flat and also to keep the middle of the heart together

Upcycle/Recycle T-Shirt


UPCYCLE/RECYCLE T-SHIRT

A simple DIY project to upcycle/recycle an old T-shirt from boring to kool!!
 
All you need is an old T-Shirt, scissors, unpicker, sewing machine and 30 minutes!!

The first step is to unpick the hem.

Now cut the hem off at the old stitch marks, then cut that in half at the fold. You should have 2 thin strips.

Lie the T-Shirt flat on the ground

Cut off the sleeves as close to the seams as possible.

Now cut straight across from one side to the other keeping as close to the front neck hole as possible.

This is what it should look like.

Fold to the inside and pin the top/neck edge. Both front and back.

Now sew it

Thread the thin strips you cut off in the first step into the newly sewn edges

Try on the shirt and tie the strips at the right length.

DONE

How KOOL is that!!
