Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to make cloth for crafts with old clothes. It is a perfect way to recycle old clothes that we are no longer going to use, turning them into a lot of things: curtains, rugs, dolls, etc.
Do you want to know how you can do it?
Materials that we will need to make our cloth with old clothes
- Old t-shirt.
- Scissors.
Hands on craft
- We fold the t-shirt in half and cut the bottom hem and remove it because we are not going to use it.
- We are making cuts in the shirt from the part that is folded towards the ends but without cutting it completely.
- We cut the whole shirt like this until we reach the sleeves and remove the part of the sleeves and the neck.
- We unfold the shirt and cut the strips on one side completely, so that they are loose on one side and caught on the other.
- We put the part of the union of the toras upwards and we are going to cut to form the fabric. This step is very important to get it right or it won't work out. You have to cut by joining the cuts of the strips diagonally. The first and last strips will remain as ends of the t-shirt yarn strip while the rest will be joined.
- We are stretching the fabric so that it rolls up about herself. It depends on why we want the cloth we can tie a knot in each seam of the shirt to decorate it. This is optional.
- To finish we will roll up the cloth in a ball for easy storage.
And ready! You can now make crafts with cloth, you have many options. We will also be taking advantage of old clothes.
With the tights or cotton type pants, you can make T-shirt yarn with each leg of the pants following the same steps as with the t-shirt.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
