How to revamp your old T shirt
Hello everyone! Today I'm gonna share with you how to revamp your old T shirt that is forgotten in the bottom of your wardrobe.
What do need?
- An old T shirt
- An old over-the-knee socks
- scissors
- threat and needle
- Tape or a marking pen
- Ribbon
Step 1: Mark your T shirt with a pen or tape at the height you like.
Step 2: Cut out below the mark.
Step 3: Do the same with the back, but this time cut over the mark.
Step 4: Take your old sock and cut it out the top and the bottom. Cut it in half so you can have two long parts.
Step 5: Fold them and sew them to the top of the T shirt. Pass a ribbon across the sock pieces and tide a knot. I sew it by hand, but if you have a sewing machine it's much easier. And that's it!
I hope you like it! And as always share your own version with me!!

How to recycle cat food boxes II
Hello! In the last weeks I didn't have enough time that's why I haven't post anything, but I'm back!
This is another project you could do to recycle dry cat food boxes:
Materials:
- Cat food boxes
- Acrylic paint
- Brushes
- Glue gun
- Hot glue sticks
- Cutter
- Sealer
- Old net tights
Step 1: Take the boxes and cut the top.
Step 2: Put the boxes on top of each other and glue the edges only with hot glue. Be careful! You have to hold them well together, you could use a ribbon around so it is tight and doesn't move while gluing it.
Step 3: Paint the boxes with acrylic paint, the color of your choice. Mine as always BLACK! ^.^
Let it dry, apply the sealer and let it dry a few minutes more.
And that's it!! I use mine to store craft papers, you could use it for magazines, letters, recipes...
It's cheap, good for the environment and entertaining!
