Cute Things to Make With Duct Tape: Bracelet

Family Fun Wool Wreath

Materials:

• Wool sweater (one sweater makes 3-5 wreaths)
• Needle
• Embroidery floss
• Red Ribbon
• Fabric glue

Instructions:

1. Wash the sweater in hot water with a cold water rinse, then dry it on high heat. Repeat, if necessary, until the sweater has shrunk and the weave is so tight it can be cut without fraying.
2. Cut the sweater into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips, then cut the strips into squares. (We used 60 squares for our 4 1/2-inch-diameter wreath.)
3. Thread the needle with the embroidery floss and string on the squares. Pull the floss and squares together tightly to form a circle, and tie off the floss. Make a small bow from the ribbon, glue it to the bottom of the wreath, and loop another piece of ribbon around the top for hanging.

How to Create the Faded/Ripped Jean Look~

This season, the ripped skinny jean look seems to be popular. Buying jeans with pre-made holes is pretty expensive, so I posted how to create the ripped jean look on your own jeans!


Materials: sand paper, scissors, cheese grater 
It is important to practice on a pair of old jeans you don't need!


1. Rub the sand paper or cheese grater on the spot where you would like the rip/fade. Place your hand inside to keep the jeans steady. If you want a rip, use a grittier sand paper. If you just want the faded look, use a less gritty one.
2. To create large holes (though this may not work on all jeans) cut a slit where you want the hole to be, and rip it a little larger. Then, run a scissor blade around the hole.
3.Then, take a spray bottle and fill it with bleach. Spray it on your jeans.
4. Wash your jeans, then wear!
