Half the Earth Shirt
This planet-inspired Half the Earth Shirt designed by Lauri Eaton for I Love to Create is a fun craft because only half the earth is painted on each shirt. When two people stand side by side, they complete the picture. It is a cool DIY craft to make with a friend to celebrate Earth Day. Make use of a plain white t-shirt by painting a planet on it for some creative collaboration with a friend. Being green has never been so easy.
