Valentine's Day: Up-Cycled T-shirt Headband
A tear prevented the donation of this maternity top, so we decided to transform it into something else!
you'll need Materials
- T-shirt
- Fabric glue
- Fabric scissors
- Embroidery floss/ needle
- Smock
- Craft tray
Directions
- Cut a heart out of felt.
- We sewed a bit of detail around the edges with the embroidery floss and the thread.
- Cut a strip off the bottom portion of your t-shirt (or several if you want to make more than one headband!)
- Twist it into a figure eight as shown and then fold it in half. This will make your headband.
- Glue your heart or hearts onto the headband. (We recommend putting it in a craft tray for this part and donning a smock to protect your clothes.)
- Allow to dry overnight.
- Put on your headband for Valentine’s Day (or everyday!) or give it to a friend!
Purpose
- Re-imaging items
Safety Notes
- Remove headbands for active play (e.g., at the playground) to prevent strangulation.
- Use fabric scissors with care and adult supervision.
- Wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothes and surfaces.
