Allow the Hall M Family (and Friends!!!) teach you how to use freezer paper as a stencil to redecorate old shirts and tote bags to make new shirts and new reusable grocery bags! :) We also made a few other nifty projects out of old clothing! :)
Make sure you draw on the rough paper-like side of the freezer paper.
After the paint dries, peel away the freezer paper, and admire your work! :)
The bag on the right is actually made from a t-shirt that was painted last year during Sustain-A-Bowl's "Paint an Old Tshirt" activity. The shirt shrank over the last year, so now it's a grocery bag! All you do is sew up the bottom edge of the shirt (with the shirt inside out) then use a bowl to cut a half-circle from the neck and cut off the sleeves! :)
Other crafts that were made were...
*A beach bag made from old towels*
The beach towel folds into the bag! And of course, we would
carry our re-usable bottle to the beach with us!! :)
*A purse made from old jeans*
Doesn't Beth make a lovely purse model? :)
