WARNING...Sharp things cut people too!

So tonight I wasn't feeling particularly artistic so I decided to use the time to cut some T shirt strips for bracelets. I was cutting like a mad woman when suddenly I cut too far and accidentally tapped the rotary cutter against my stomach (My muffin top actually....dang it lol)  One little tap and it cut through the shirt I was wearing and my stomach lol  Since I didn't really plan on blogging tonight this is short.  Just wanted to show u the wrath of the Fiskars rotary cutter lol   It's an awesome tool for cutting fabric... just be careful lol

It may seem harmless but it's not!

My Poor muffin
I did however get a lot of material cut up!!
Goodnight!

T-Shirt Bracelets and Headbands

A week or so ago I was browsing Craft Gawker and found an awesome project to work on.  Make it and Love it had this really cool project for braided Tshirt Headbands.  I love re-purposing things so this was right up my alley.  Why pay for crafting items when you can make awesomeness out of things you already own??  Anyway, I have a misshapen head apparently and can't wear headbands because they slide off my head.  I decided I could easily convert this idea to a bracelet. After a little practice, I've gotten pretty good at it.  I will probably have to buy a whole new wardrobe of T-shirts now, because they're all cut up lol but I'll have stylin' arms! 



Here are a few pictures of the ones I've done or worked on.  I started out just using one color of tshirt.  Now I'm branching out.  I also found that you can get really great colored Tshirts from the Dollar Tree.  Tonight I got a pink and a purple tshirts for a whopping $2! 

That's all for this post.  I'll post some more bracelet pics later I'm sure.
