Happy Earth day!!

Here’s a little something fun to make on earth day. Don’t toss out your kids old clothing….make a wreath instead!

They say your not supposed to donate items that you wouldn’t give to a friend. I can understand that. Who what’s a shirt that is covered in stains? Or has an unsightly hole? Well instead of tossing them in the garbage, why not cut them into small scraps & use them to make a wreath?
First cut the fabric into long strips. You’ll just need them long enough to be able to tie around the width of the wreath.

Then start tying them around the wreath . Do this until the entire wreath is covered. .





Now glue them directly to the wreath.


Done!

Its kind of a fun way to hold on to some of those cute baby clothes or any cute clothing item that may not have made it to become a hand-me-down. Now you don’t have to toss them! Make them into a keep sake!

Want to laugh ? Know what I made mine from? Undies!! Don’t worry …they’re NEW undies! Here’s the story…..I bought this cute package of undies for my 5 yr old. Well, I threw them in the wash not thinking they wouldn’t work out. Unfortunately they shrunk & didn’t fit. So I couldn’t just toss them? Now my youngest has this cute little wreath hanging in her room! Her response…. “For me? How cute!! Wait…..are those my undies?” He he he !!
