St. Patrick's Day is coming up (March 17th) so we decided to do a Green on Green DIY - the first Green because it's "eco-friendly" by up-cycling an old shirt (we used 3 to get the variation of color/pattern) into unisex DIY bowties, DIY fabric wrapped jars, and DIY pocket squares and the second Green because it's, well...green!
See the full how-to of the DIY fabric wrapped jars here
Watch the how-to video for these DIY bowties here
- old cotton button down shirt
- iron
- damp wash cloth
- scissors
- stitch witchery (iron-on hem tape - from the fabric, craft store or kmart, target, etc.)
- cut off one sleeve along the seam
- cut open the sleeve along the seam
- cut a square out of the sleeve
- cut the stitch witchery the length of the square
- place the stitch witchery on the edge on the square and fold it over so the stitch witchery is completely covered
- place the damp clothe over the folded edge and iron over
- do this for each side to create a hemmed square
- bunch it in the middle and wear in the breast pocket of your favorite blazer or jacket!
