"You know... just looking at these as braids, you could use them as really neat trim on, say, a jacket or a blanket. Of course you'd have to have several tshirts in the same colors for something as big as a blanket, but a little trim on the sleeves or cuffs of a jacket seems possible."

"It sounds so simple just reading though the directions! I'm afraid it would be a lot of work for me, though, since I am not a good seamstress. This would be like an entire winter's project for me. Still, it intrigues me. I have slowly accumulated tshirts but probably don't have enough yet."

"This is a marvelous idea. It's very easy and inexpensive to make. I live in Florida so I have plenty of sea shells. And I have seen the prices that local boutiques charge for things like these. You can make just as nice ones yourself. And you can get some Christmas gifts done early in the year."

"This is adorable and I am inspired just looking at it. But I am going to make it using polymer clay. I love working with that and I can make the buildings and cacti out of it very easily. Little stones and boukders are a snap to make too. Thank you for the idea."

"This is so sweet. It's so very easy to make and it's not expensive. It is something that will look good on the patio. I live in Florida and this can stay up for most of the year. I also have sea shells that I can add to the wreath edges."

Don't toss out that old sweater. You can upcycle it into a pillow with this project.

From the blogger: "Create these lovely zipped pillow covers from your old and unused sweaters! Felt them in the washing machine with hot water, cut them up and applique the leaf design with the free downloadable template. Sew the two sides together with a zipper closure, and you’ve got a great new piece of home décor! They don’t cost anything when you repurpose materials that you already have and are a wonderful housewarming gift... or for any other occasion!"
