Randsome Style Tee DIY


This idea is from the Thrift Secrets journal I have been writing
under the UpCycle ideas...
http://thelostsocklife.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-art-of-smart-thrifting.html
I have made these before, but thought I would do a little more playing...



I used to have a group of women that would meet and Create For our Creator..,
We had fun making these shirts and all pitching in and bringing old tees with letters. 
Now, I play on making them with my afterschool art group of middle schoolers called Art With A Purpose. 
We are not a big named group like FCA, so we are just going to create our own humble tees for our group. 
I made another one below...

Foxy Stole Sweater project

So, I got this itch to get a fox sweater after seeing some advertised on multiple places only to be let down. 
So, I decided to go with my creative side and Create My Own!
So, here is my own original Fox Stole Sweater...

Read the story behind the process in my 
Top Secret Thrift Journal.
Wrapped Fox Sweater in Sand
This beautiful lady made me want to create my own foxy stole sweater.
Her sweater is from Etsy store DandyRions
