Upcycled Cherished Clothing

Got a kid who's a hoarder? A simple solution I devised last night...turn her junk into a new treasure.

Stella made the leap and decided to give some of her clothes away. I rescued two of her favorites and wove them into a pillow. She hasn't put it down all day!

Mini craft project for older kids

Recycled plastic bottle Felt, embroidery thread, fat needle, scissors.  That's it!
Make gifts and teach your little ones to sew.  6 and up.

Cut cute designs, choose contrasting colors, sew fat stitches around the edges.  The chunkier and imperfect the better!

When life gives you no money for curtains steal one from your table

Sew tabs on a tablecloth (especially one that doesn't fit your current table) to make it a curtain. Great for garage sale finds. These tabs are made from a sheet I cut up. Upcycle!

Upcycle project of the week: Turn a robe into a rug

Faced with a robe that was too big for me even when I was pregnant I decided to get to work.  Too nice for the rag pile, I set my mind to creating a bathroom rug.
