t-shirt making!

On the weekends I went over to a friend’s house and we were making t-shirts. It was a lot of fun and a great craft for kids. All you need is fabric paint and a t-shirt!

recycled paper

Today I’m going to show you how to make recycled paper. You can also add a leaf in it for an extra fall kick! This is what it will look like when it's done:
What you will need:
-Shredded paper
-cling wrap
-Water
-leafs(optional)
-blender
-strainer
Step 1

Combine the water and the shredded paper in a blender. If you want your paper to be colored, this would be the time to do it. Add colorful paper or paint.
Step 2
Blend on high for a few seconds on till it looks a bit like this: 
Step 3
Strain the mixture and try to get as much of the water out as possible. Remember the more water the more time it takes to dry.
Step 4
Put the mixture on a piece of cling warp to dry. This is the time to decorate it. You can make it any shape you want. Also you can add flowers, leafs or glitter! Set it somewhere to dry, it usually takes about 24 hours. 
Happy crafting and good luck!
