From Bottle Caps to Braided Rugs

Who said this blog had to be ALL about bottle caps? Oh wait, I think it was me. Well good thing it was me and no one else, because I am going off course with this next project. Don't get me wrong, still doing bottle cap crafts for sure! But wanted to do something different for a change. So I am working on another "recycled" project. I am making a rug. How is that recycling? Because it starts out with old shirts that were not good enough to go to good will but still too good to throw out. And they are on a journey, shall I show you?

They start as shirts, well loved and worn, but with stains and tears here and there.

So they must be cut, and cut they are.

And so they are not alone they are intertwined with others.

Then finally they spoon each other into submission where they are more than happy to be connected to the next for the rest of their life.

Maybe I should go eat something... My post is getting a little loopy with an empty stomach, back in 10.

1 minute... 2 minutes... 3 minutes... 4 minutes... 5 minutes... 6 minutes... 7 minutes... 8 minutes... 9 minutes... BACK!

So since I have been cutting, and braiding, and wrapping, and sewing KC has been by my side intensly watching what I am doing. She got a little nosey a few times and grabbed an end of a braid and would pull it across the room. She is so quite about it that I wouldn't even notice her take it until she got to the end of the line and I would feel a tug on my end. So I took a few minutes out of braiding yesterday and made her her own braided t-shirt toy. She loves her new spider!
