I made this super cute T-shirt yarn ring in an instant. If you haven’t made T-Shirt yarn before purchase one of my T-shirt Yarn Kits click HERE to shop. Once you’ve made the yarn then it is really just a matter of selecting what color to work with and then deciding on how large you would like your ring topper flower to be in both height and width. Enjoy! xoxo LL
I have had a roll of window screening laying around, left over from another project and got to thinking how could I make some jewelry out of that? I grabbed my Cuttlebug and my Skull and Crossbones die called Beware and went for it. For one of the pieces I used pink embroidery thread around the outer edges and then coated it with a stiffener. The next piece was made from a plastic sheet I picked up at a hobby shop. I ran this one through the cutting die and then the matching embossing folder, I used pink flocking for the eyes. For the final piece I covered it in pink craft paint which will fill in some of the holes and then top coated it with stiffener. The black and white fabric came from a scarf that I found at a dollar store and ripped up to make little shredded pieces to tie on. Finally, I put everything onto a hot pink plumbers chain I picked up at a local bead store. You could create a necklace like this using any Cuttlebug dies and embossing folder combos.

Since I had some left over mascarpone in the fridge from another recipe so I thought I should use it up. I made some delicious lemon cupcakes and frosted them with the mascarpone and topped with slivered almonds and drizzled with honey. Yum! My baking studio is getting a lot of use these days. I am sweating anyway so I might as well bake! Click here for the Lemon Cupcake Recipe
Playing with the sheets of shrink plastic is fun times! I made this super cute house ring. Those most important thing is just to remember scale because the plastic shrinks 75% or so. To glue the house to the band I used E-6000 glue which glues together anything but silicone. The second photo is the underside of the ring which I glued a piece of felt to to soften the blow in case I hit my hand down too hard on a table so I don’t crack the plastic. So fabulous and so fun to wear!
Oh what fun I had making tee-shirt yarn this week. I also made many projects out of the yarn but I will save those for another post. Making tee-shirt yarn is such a great way to recycle dingy tees from your own collection or take advantage of dollar days at your local thrift store. I personally super deluxe love to thrift shop. On those days when I don’t have anything in particular in mind to hunt for I’ll often just pick up mens’ extra large tees and cut them into yarn when I return to my studio.
