How to Make Upcycled Wall Art

Cut your clothing featuring the image you want to use for your upcycled wall art. Just make sure there is extra fabric that is bigger than the embroidery hoop.

Cutting a blue sweater.

Separate an embroidery hoop into 2 pieces.

Separating an embroidery hoop.

Place the smaller piece of the hoop behind your tshirt or sweater. Then place the top of the hoop over the shirt until it fits snugly with the back of the hoop. Tighten the hoop so that it stays in place.

Cut off any excess fabric and fold over the rest as shown. Hot glue or tape the fabric to stay in place.

Folding over excess fabric.

This is a really easy way to use your favorite clothing, that may look a bit worn or is unwearable, and turn it into a fun art project. Keep it even more simple and let your kids do the cutting, tightening and folding. You can skip the hot glue gun and use tape instead.

]]> This is the simplest way to make a no-sew tshirt bag. If you want to get fancy you can use actual sewing scissors, seam rippers, measuring tape or a rotary cutter. But for this simple craft, cutting and tying are your only instructions.

Materials You’ll Need

It’s simple! You only need an old tshirt and a pair of scissors

A tshirt and scissors.

How to Make a No-Sew Tshirt Bag

Lay your tshirt down on a flat surface and start by cutting the sleeves along the armhole.

Cutting the sleeves off a tshirt.

Since my shirt had buttons I chose not to cut the neckband. This part will be the handles.

Cut tshirt sleeves.

Cut evenly sized strips along the entire length of the bottom opening.

Cutting the fabric on the bottom of a tshirt.

At this point I turned the cut shirt inside out (you don’t have to turn your tshirt inside out if you don’t mind the knots at the bottom of the bag, but I wanted to hide mine.) Then I started tying double knots, connecting the front and back fabric. I continued all the way until the bottom opening was sealed.

Tying knots with the fabric on the bottom of the tshirt.

Then I flipped my tshirt bag back and it was ready to use!
