5 Minute No Sew Apron From Jeans

Project: 5 Minute No Sew Apron From Jeans!!

I have been waiting to try this project out for quite some time now! I knew as soon as the nice weather came around that I would want to pot plants on our front and back patios, and I thought a cute gardening apron would make a great Spring post. I have also found myself using it indoors while I’m crafting, so you have lots of uses for this genius upcycled item! If you have five minutes and a pair of old jeans that you were just about to get rid of, try this out- you have nothing to lose! Continue reading 5 Minute No Sew Apron From Jeans

5 Step T-Shirt Tote

I spy with my little eye… one kitty who wants that yarn!

Project: 5 Step T-Shirt Tote

I love working with found materials just as much as I love buying them. I may get an overwhelming rush when I walk in to Hobby Lobby (honestly, who of us doesn’t?), but when I find something that costs nothing or next to nothing that I can re-purpose in a project I’m just as thrilled. This project is the latter, using one upcycled t-shirt and very little time!
