The course

learn how to up-cycle a simple tee to make a variety of fabulous accessories 

Upcycling T-Shirts

We’ve all got a T-shirt we never wear, and even if we don’t charity shops are full of brightly coloured bargains to repurpose. The idea is to create something that can be used, out of something we previously deemed useless. Perhaps your outfit is missing a funky headpiece or you need a new sweatband for the gym – instead of rushing out to buy something new, why not grab an old t-shirt and revel in some creative time to yourself.
