DIY Boho Fringed Placemats For Summer Entertaining
I have pulled this post out of the archives because it is a keeper, and I’m still enjoying my DIY boho place mats, which are great indoors or outdoors, and perfect for that little extra something this summer! Enjoy! And I just had the thought that these could also be great for the Succah, so why not plan ahead! I love t-shirt yarn, and have been thinking about using it for macrame and embroidery, not just crocheting! Industrial-waste t-shirt yarn also supports eco-consciousness, as it is made from odds and ends of fabric left after the pieces for making clothing is cut from the yardage. What I found after making…

Embroidered Geometric Stars On A Recycled Styrofoam Tray, Festive And Fun Anytime!
After sharing the cross stitch apple styrofoam tray embroidery craft, I just couldn’t resist dusting off this project to share with you, as it still looks great four years after I first shared it. The wonderful thing about these string stars is that they have a universal festive look so they would truly be great any time. If you don’t have any styrofoam trays hanging around waiting to be upcycled, try this on cardboard, the results will also be great! Okay, here is that post: I have been saving these little square styrofoam trays as I had a feeling that would be great for a fun recycled craft project! And…

Cross Stitch Apple Embroidery On A Foam Tray!
I have dusted off this project from my archives, as it is truly one of my all time favorites! And this apple is just the beginning, collect styrofoam trays (from non-meat items) and have fun thinking of all the possibilities!I have a box with a bunch of trays in the basement, so if and when I get around to dreaming up some more cross stitch projects you’ll be the first to know! I just got a big batch of embroidery thread that is calling my name, so you never know! Here’s the old post that was written a week before Rosh HaShana, this time around we have more like a…

Plastic Berry Baskets Woven With T-Shirt Yarn
We eat lots of mushrooms, and I just can’t resist saving those plastic baskets! The last bunch I sent off to a nursery school, and now I have a few more that need a creative solution.

Fringed Woven Placemat IKEA Hack With T-Shirt Yarn
I love t-shirt yarn, and have been thinking about using it for macrame and embroidery, not just crocheting! Industrial-waste t-shirt yarn also supports eco consciousness, as it is made from odds and ends of fabric left after the pieces for making clothing is cut from the yardage. What I found after making these fringed and embroidered placemats/wall hangings is that t-shirt yarn is a great way to add color to a project that might have called for rope of some kind, and it works great for fringe, tassels (see my t-shirt yarn tassels) and more. So if you’re looking for a simple and stylish summer project, this is it! These…

Embroidering With T-Shirt Yarn!
Ever thought about embroidering with t-shirt yarn? I am always looking for ways to do intricate yet lovely crafts in a quicker way, so embroidery with t-shirt yarn is certainly one way to do that, right? With ethnic wall hangings and baskets still popular in the home decor arena, now is the perfect time to make some fun summer accessories for your home, with some t-shirt yarn and some woven placemats or baskets. I actually made the example here as a wall hanging, though it has not yet made it to the wall, it is propped up on a bedside table under a window for now, and maybe forever until…
