Upcycling Day 26 – T-shirt Sleeve to No-Sew Headband #freefromtrash
This was inspired after a run in the heat for Run.Blog.Give. The sweat was getting in my eyes and driving me nuts, but I don’t own any headbands. Then, BAM I remembered I needed to do something with a T-shirt sleeve for this challenge. This project can be as easy as you want it to [...]

First, I’ve like to say that I’m VERY ANTI-WATER BOTTLE. I usually avoid buying them and instead ask for tap water if I’m out. However, occasionally I end up getting one for some reason (if I didn’t plan ahead well enough, etc.) One nice way to use a plastic bottle is to refresh a dog [...]
