Flower Crown T-Shirt
With Earth day coming up, it’s got me thinking about how I can better reduce my crafting waste and reuse some of my supplies for different fun projects. When I’m working on a project, I am careful about fabric and vinyl placement so that I don’t waste materials. It’s a great way to save money AND the environment, am I right? I keep a lot of my scraps (fabric, paper, vinyl…) just in case I can one day use them and today is that day!
I was inspired by a color block shirt design I saw and thought that I’d love to recreate it. You guys know I am a HUGE color block fan and that I’m obsessed with anything fun and colorful. I had two t-shirts laying around that I thought would look great put together. I also had a TON of brightly colored vinyl scraps laying around that I knew would work perfectly for all the flowers. Isn’t it great when you have a project in mind and you already have everything you need for it at home?!
