Then, I remembered seeing this tutorial on threading burlap through a wire hanger. Burlap has a great weave for doing this, but my thin sheet of cotton definitely does not, so I had to get creative.
Follow me on my adventures in upcycling-taking things I own and creating useful items out of them. Food, crafts, and thriftiness are my hobbies! I also make and sell hoop art!

An Old Curtain Becomes a Shabby Chic Fall Wreath
Last week, I decided it was time to change out my Halloween rag wreath for a Fall wreath. As I was looking through old shirts, I came across an old curtain panel that I haven't used in years.

Upcycled Turkey Hair Clip
I am practicing hair designs, since I adore many of the Etsy hair clips and bows, but just can't spend the money right now, during holiday season. This design has many flaws, but thankfully, my sister is there to accept my less-than-perfect practice attempts (if I feel it's too big for my baby girl, which this one is).

Baby Boy Edition: No-Cost Upcycled Thanksgiving Shirt
I definitely couldn't leave our 2 year-old out of the cute holiday crafting. He needed a shirt, too.
I had a blank burgundy shirt and knew it would be perfect. I had seen this adorable shirt on Amazon and it was my inspiration for this project.

No-Cost Thanksgiving Upcycled Appliquéd Onesie
Whenever I see an adorable holiday-themed shirt, I first think of how cute it is, then think of how limited the wear will be. Yes, I'm just too practical (or cheap) to spend a lot on something my little ones will wear briefly.
With that in mind, I decided to upcycle and make my own Thanksgiving clothes for the babies.
