This was a craft I’ve been hoping to do for a while. I’ve even had a t-shirt sitting in a clump on my floor that I intended to use. It took me about 15 minutes on Sunday night–easy! However, It is not nearly as pretty as the ones in this tutorial. [...]

Can we please talk about this most adorable decoration? I found this How To: DIY Dress Decor originally through Craftzine, and man, do I love it! They suggest it as something to perk up a child’s room, but I am pretty sure these will be on the walls of my future crafting room. They are too [...]
