DIY Up-cycled T-shirt Pillows

Have a couple of old t-shirts that have awesome logos but are never worn?

Lets make some t-shirt pillows.

 First grab a shirt.

 Pin around the design with at least a 1-2 inch seam allowance and cut your shape. 

 Turn the shirt inside out and pin the shirt together. 

 I sewed the material together using my mini sewing machine and left the bottom material unsewn, see below picture. Turn the material right side out (logo design out) and stuff the pillow. 

 Once the pillow is stuffed, fold the edges inwards and pin down. 

Sew the material as close to the edge as possible for a finished look and voila!

I had a voodoo souvenir t-shirt that did not fit well but I loved the skeleton so now I have two mini t-shirt pillows. Follow the same procedures for sewing. 

Christmas cards

So I moved 

and its Christmas time!

Why not make a card and let everyone know?

Materials:

• Paint chip samples (Green & red for the holidays) - from Lowes
• Holiday picture with the new place in the background (size 4x4) - from Walmart $0.29 each
• Glue stick
• Mini bells and ribbon
• Markers/pens

Originally I found the paint chip idea here and I put my own little spin on it. 

The paint chip already had square cut outs and when I glued them together to make a pouch my picture (size 4x4) fit perfectly as a preview. 

I took a picture in front of my new place with my roomie, Timmy the mannequin. A lot of my friends know of Timmy but on the back of the picture I explained that I adopted Timmy almost 3 years ago and that he is a retired GAP model. I think it makes the Christmas card just a tad bit funnier. 

 I printed out my pictures from Walmart and their instant picture machine gave me the option to add a boarder and text for free. 

 On the front I wrote "I've Moved! Also Merry Christmas".

And on the back "Have a wonderful New Year!"

Just add holiday drawings and a mini bell tied in one of the cutouts with ribbon. 

Easy to make and only $0.76 each to make (including the stamp on the envelope).
