Two of my craft projects

As I promised in a previous post I am showing you two of my last craft projects.Recently I am a lot into recycling T-shirts and turning them into beautiful and
useful objects.Here you can see a little
basket for crayons or whatever your heart desires and a potholder or a coaster for a hot pan.
How do I do it?I cut the T-shirts into strips and then crochet them.It was not unfamiliar to me because
when I was a little girl I remember watching my grandma cutting old clothes into strips and coiling those strips into balls.For rugs.At that time in my grandparents village every family had their own wooden loom and the women weaved their own rugs.I was fascinated watching my grandma weaving.

Crafts Basket

This project had been nesting in my mind for quite a long time.Finally during my two-week- stay home I found the courage to start it and guess what?I finished it!!!It took me three or four days but don't take me wrong. It was not a constant, overwhelming labor.Every time I felt like watching TV I would take the craft in my hands.It took 8 T-shirts to make it,two adults and six children's size.The crocheting itself is fast.It is the cutting the T-shirts in strips that takes so long.But at the end the result is fabulous.I am so proud of my new crafts basket and it makes me feel good about recycling eight T-shirts that were cluttering my closets.
