T-Shirt Flowers

Fun stuff to do with old t-shirts #1.

I get a charge out of re purposing things. We made old t-shirt rosettes awhile back. Today.....

we made flowers for our hair!

1. Cut a 1" strip from a t-shirt. I just lay it out and cut across the bottom of the shirt(2 layers).

2. Cut at the seam so you have one long 1" strip.

3. Run a basic stitch along one side. Pull on one of the threads to scrunch the fabric and make a ruffle, like above.

4. Roll up your ruffle like so. Above is the bottom side.

Top side, flower. You can trim with scissors if your flower doesn't make you completely happy. Trim until you are!

5. With liquid stitch add a dot at the end of the roll.

6. With plenty of liquid stitch, finish off the bottom by adding a circle of fabric. Use more of the t-shirt or what ever you have handy to cut out a circle. Blob on lots of glue, add your circle, let it dry. That will give your flower stability and a nice flat surface to attach to what ever you like. In this case a hair elastic.

Cute, eh?

This could be used so many ways and made with just about any fabric.
