This is seriously one of the best and most versatile presents ever!
You can make this within 30 min and you can personalize it for anyone and everyone you know!
Let's get started!
Here is what you'll need:
♥ thick paper (I used organizing sheets but folder work great and are super cheap)
♥ scissors
♥ sewing machine or needle and thread
♥ fabric scraps
♥ marker, pens, pencils...whatever you want to use to write your vouchers with :)
1. Cut about 6 (or however many vouchers you want minus the front) 8 1/2 in x 2 in pieces and fold in half.
2. Stack them.
3. Sew them.
4. Sew another line without thread (so the vouchers rip out and can be used easily)
5. Decorate the front with fabric scraps.
6. Write a fun voucher on each page.
I made this one for my little one who turns 9 tomorrow and I wrote things in there that I usually don't like doing but that he really enjoys, like Playing Monopoly 3x (my worst nightmare). :)

Ok, seriously I am having so much fun doing this "transforming a ol' men shirt" project.
It really sparked my creativity flame and turned it into a blazing fire!
I hope you feel the same.
So, after making a collar, shoe laces, a banana, a bow, a flower ring and pimped up shorts, today we will make a super cute and easy flower brooch.
Let's get going!
Here is what you'll need:
♥ three fabric straps (about 25 inch)
♥ ruffle lace
♥ thick fabric (denim or felt)
♥ fabric glue
♥ scissors
♥ a small safety pin
♥ needle and thread
1. Cut a 3 inch fabric circle.
2. Glue lace around the edge.
3. Glue the three straps in circle while carefully twisting them.
4. Sew safety pin onto the back.
Pin. Go. Cute.
Now you know what sparks my creative fire. What sparks yours? - click to tweet!

Wowzer! This is the 6th project that we are doing out of that button-up men's shirt! So cool!
Let's see, we made a collar, shoe laces, a banana, a bow and a flower ring. Awesome!
Today we are pimping my favorite piece of clothing ever - Shorts!
Those who know me know that I live in them :)
Let's get started!
You'll need:
♥ a pair of shorts (I got those at the thrift store, they where long and ugly and I just cut them off.)
♥ cardboard
♥ carpet knife
♥ sand paper
♥ fabric scrapes
♥ lace
♥ needle and thread
♥ scissors
1. Place cardboard (two pieces on top of each other) inside the leg.
2. Let out your anger, by cutting and sandpapering like a maniac (but please watch your fingers!). After that you need to rip the pieces apart.
3. Sew a piece of fabric a little bigger than the area you tore apart to the inside of the leg.
5. Take a small fabric square and pull out the horizontal thread (called weft) with a needle to get the super fringe look.
6. Sew the piece onto the outside of the shorts.
7. Cut a hole into the other pant leg and with the cardboard underneath, sandpaper it.
8. Sew a piece of fabric onto the inside.
9. Sew a cute ruffled lace onto the top of the back pocket.
Fold over the hem and look super cute in your new pimped up shorts!
Shorts, a razor, an old shirt, lace, sandpaper + thread? How was your week? -

I love this "transforming a shirt" project!
We have already made 4 cool things out of that good ol' button up shirt and there will be at least 4 more things.
But let's see what we have made already - a collar, shoe laces, a bandana and a bow! How fun!
So, let's get started with today's tutorial - a super cute (and easy and usual!) flower ring.
Here is what you'll need:
♥ a strap of that good ol' button up shirt fabric (about 12 inch long)
♥ ruffled lace
♥ fabric glue
♥ an old ring
♥ a piece of thicker fabric (denim or felt)
♥ fabric glue
1. fold the strap in half and roll about 1 inch, then add a little bit of glue and roll for another 1/2 inch.
2. Now you'll start twisting the fabric every 1 inch and adding glue at about every 1/2 - 1 inch.
2. Twist. Roll. Glue. Twist. Roll. Glue. And it should look like this.
3. Turn over and glue the lace onto the back of the flower.
4. Cut out a piece of fabric and glue onto the back.
5. Let the glue dry a bit (about 10 minutes) and sew the flower onto the ring.
You are done! Put it on your finger and look super cute!
I'm into recycling... like really into recycling! Bows, shoe laces, bandanas + rings - click to tweet!
