August Refashion Challenge: Back to School Upcycles
Share
I’m currently experiencing my first summer-vacation-break-from-school as a mommy and now totally, utterly and completely understand the excited gleeful anticipation parents have during those last few weeks before school starts again.
Raid your stash, sort through your kiddo’s wardrobe, hit the charity shop, be inspired and whip up a bunch of new-to-them gear with my August Refashion Challenge: Back to School Upcycles:
Funky upcycled key necklaces are everywhere but only seem to be non-functioning accessories so I put on my refashionista cap and came up with a fab DIY Functional Key Necklace – the perfect way to keep your kiddo’s house key safe!
Make sure your munchkin gets a good night’s sleep with my upcycled DIY bed canopy – also makes a fab reading nook!
Transform last year’s hoodie into a stylin’ new top with my simple tutorial!
Make those summer t-shirts fit for fall with my easy method for lengthening short sleeves.
Once you’ve lengthened those t-shirt sleeves go ahead and add some length to those too short pants too!
Transform a long sleeved top into a skirt for you and a pair of lounge pants for your kiddo with my DIY!
Get crafty with your kiddo and create a bunch of DIY friendship pins for classmates old & new!
Upcycle an old pair of jeans into a fab new backpack right over here!
Refashioning for munchkins is a fabulous way to reuse outgrown gear & introduce kiddos to the wonderful world of creative sustainability. To help you get started I’ve collected my favourite Confessions of a Refashionista upcycled toy tutorials into one convenient e-book!
