Design your own Fabric!!!

So I was doing a Craft show and another Crafter approached me and told me about this awesome website to design your own fabric called Spoonflower.com. http://www.spoonflower.com    She said it was a great website  to design my own tags for the insides of my bags and is was super reasonable!!!  Well as you can see I have a little addiction...  I downloaded pics of my boys, drawings my boys did and also my labels to cut up and sew in my bags!  If you did not already know about this incredible website you have to check it out!  Not only can you design fabric, you can design wallpaper and wall clings!!!

Dr. Seuss T-shirt Necklace Scarf Tutorial

Dr. Seuss T-shirt Necklace Scarf!  (Cute for Teacher's on Dr. Seuss Week March 4-8th!

 

TOOLS NEEDED:

1.  AT LEAST 2 T-SHIRTS... I USED 3.

2.  FABRIC CUTTER

3. CUTTING BOARD

4. CUTTING RULER

1.  TAKE T-SHIRT AND LAY ON CUTTING BOARD.  TAKE YOUR CUTTING RULER AND FABRIC CUTTER AND START AT BOTTOM OF T-SHIRT AND START CUTTING STRIPS IN 1 INCH.

HOW TO MAKE:

YOU WILL CUT A TOTAL OF 11 OF THESE.  Your choice  EACH COLORS!

2.  YOU WILL THEN STRETCH THEM TO LOOK LIKE THE PICURE ABOVE.

3.  NEXT TAKE STRETCHED 1 INCH T AND PUT BETEEN BOTH WRISTS AND TWIST AND LOOP.  TO MAKE MORE CLEAR YOU ARE WRAPPING AROUND WRIST LIKE YOU WOULD A RUBBER BAND UNTIL FITS TIGHT LIKE A BRACELET.  PIC BELOW.

ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR 11 BRACELETS YOU WILL CUT MORE STRIPS TO TIE AND CONNECT EACH ONE TOGETHER.  I USUALLY DOUBLE NOT AND THEN CUT THE ENDS OF TIES AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE JUST TO LEAVE A LITTLE COLOR FROM THE TIES.

BEFORE ADDING FLOWER ON THE SCARF.  I SEWED A BUTTON IN MIDDLE  OF FLOWER AND MODGE PODGED LOGO AND THEN USED DIMENTIONAL MODGE PODGE OVER THAT.    THEN YOU WILL HOT GLUE FLOWER ON THE SCARF.

WHEN FINISHED WITH ALL OF THESE IT SHOULD LIKE LIKE PIC BELOW.

IF YOU LIKE THIS STYLE BELOW

THIS ONE YOU WILL NEED 5 STRIPS OF T'SHIRT.

STRETCH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

THE FIRST 4 YOU WILL MAKE INTO FIGURE 8 AND COMBINED ALL TOGETHER.

TAKE 5TH ONE AND WRAP AROUND SIDE TO SECURE SCARF.

NEXT APPLY FLOWER EXACT WAY AS LAST SCARF.
