And if every American family wrapped just 3 presents in re-used materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. *stats according to @stanford Textile waste is also one of the leading contributors to global pollution, and finding ways to reuse your old clothing can help to offset some of that waste. To make this t-shirt ribbon, start cutting 1-3 in ribbon along the bottom hem of old, stained, or dingy shirst, spiraling your way up the entire thing. Use your problem solving skills once you get to the armpits as the top portion of the shirt can be a little tricky. Remember that it doesn’t need to be perfect. It’s a rag ribbon, after all! You can use this “ribbon” for more than just decorating gifts. I’ve tied little bows on our garlands, our tree, and even made a rag garland (see stories for that!)I also want to make a loom to make some rag rugs someday. We’ll see if I ever get around to it 😅 Think you’ll try this? Maybe you already have? I’d love to hear in the comments ❤️ And if you like low-waste creative ideas, make sure you like, save, and share this! It means so much to me! | Northwoods Folk | Facebook
