DIY Eco Fashion & Upcycling

May 9, 2021 by terina

Fashion Upcycling: Turning Old T-shirts into Fashionable Wearable Accessories and Home Decor

Fashion is the second most pollutant industry, next to oil. On average each American throws 60-70 lbs of clothes into the landfills every year. We must change this because our planet is suffering.

In this workshop you will learn to upcycle your t-shirts instead of throwing them way. We’ll make a re-usable grocery tote, a pair of earrings, and a throw pillow from your old t-shirts.
