DIY Jeans Headband.

Have you ever thought of what to do with all your old jeans. that's exactly what i am always thinking of how to recycle my old stuff.

here is one example. what i did i cut my old jeans into small squares.

then fold it in the middle in order to make Kanzashi flowers petals.


after that i started folding the squares in some orders to make the petals. you can find on the YouTube lots of videos on how to fold the fabric/papers to make the Kanzashi flowers.


and here is the final result after i glue a button in the flower's center. hope you like it.

DYI T shirt Headband..Recycle your Kids cloths.

Junior kids are usually grown up so quickly in the first years. hence you keep changing cloths frequently. though some cloths are still new.

I decided to find different ideas that will help me to recycle the old t shirts. one idea was to make a headband.

let's have a look on the steps.

My daughter's cloths. it's looking new i know : (

any idea on how can i rotate the photo in the post :(

i cut 2 long stripes and connect them together (as one stripe will be too small for my daughter) then i hand sewed them together.
finally i double the stripe and again hand sewed it.
note that it's better if you sewed it by sewing machine but i don't have one and didn't want to stop at this point.


After i joined the two ends i just add a cute flower. here is the final result.


another one :)


Hope you like it ^_^
