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
This Strawberry Coconut Cake made many people happy, including the one year old tasting cake for the first time in her life. Since the birthday girl can not yet talk, her older sister made the decision that the cake be strawberry. I got the cake recipe over at the Southern Plate. The frosting was my butter cream with coconut pressed into it. I tinted the coconut a hot pink for a fun effect. The red and white mushrooms were created out of fondant with my Cricut Cake using the Freshly Picked cartridge. The little white bunny was made by hand out of white fondant. I made the bunting out of vintage pillow case fabric and backed each one with felt triangles. I sewed it onto pink and white twist Bakers Twine and then tied the bunting onto wooden skewers. Not only was it super cute – it tasted yummy too!
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.
