Do you have old t-shirts that you don't want to get rid of but don't know what to do with them? Maybe you are holding on to them because it is a memory of something. Or it's one that you got from a concert, vacation spot or special event. Well I came up with an idea to turn those old t-shirts into wall art.
I looked in my closet and saw my stack of shirts that I didn't want to get rid of because they had meaning to them. Some of them were from places I have been on cruises, restaurants I had visited that were no longer open and some that I could not wear anymore, like my very first ORU shirt. I decided to take a "sewing circle" and use it as a frame for my old shirts.
I took one of my shirts and put it in the circle just like you would for cross-stitch or needle point. After I made the fabric tight within the circle, I cut around the edge so that the extra material was gone. I saved all my extra shirt material and use them for cleaning! After I cut the extra material off, I hung my final product on the wall just like you would a picture.
This is such a fun and easy way to take old shirts and make them into something new. I'm sure you could use the same method with an old blanket or something like that. Try it out!
Happy crafting! Be creative!
