Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Know a little boy or girl who needs some one-of-a-kind shorts for the spring and summer, but don’t want to spend tons of money for boutique fashions? Grab an old dish towel, follow the pattern from Dollar Store Crafts, and get to sewing on some perfect shorts!
This is a great way to make easy and fun charms and pendants that uses recycled items. I can totally see expanding this technique using bottle caps, pop tabs and broken jewelry to give it a new life. Pop on over to the blog Suzy’s Sitcom for the step by step tutorial on how to make recycled charms and pendants.
awww these are adorable! I love the plaid pattern and sailboat. Often, you can find really nice linen or flour-sac materials with lovely patterns on a dish cloth you just can’t find in the fabric store for a decent price.Even better! At thrift stores you can find vintage patterns that make the shorts even more one of a kind! This is a wonderful craft idea.
