Repurposing with Keepers

On Thursday the final Keepers meeting of the year was held at our house.   Mommy did an excellent job teaching how we can take jeans, ties, and t-shirts and make them into something "new".

 
While the girls were in the meeting, Joshua and Lincoln went fishing at the creek.

Cutting out our t-shirt scarves.


Knit shirts don't fray and they ruffle easily!!!


Cut nine 9" circles out of your t-shirt.  Once your circle is cut out, start cutting into spiral shape.  When you pull the two ends, it will fall into a ringlet.



Cutting off the jeans pockets


Finished products

Sewing tie wristlets


 You can store your cell phone, money, credit cards, etc.  And it only takes one tie!

Modeling our scarves!

 When you cut all the seams off the jeans, glue them together and you have a jean hotpad!

Mommy took the tie ends and made a flower to clip on her purse!
