Earth Day is right around the corner, which means we’re looking for little ways to reduce our carbon footprint, and reuse what we have to make something completely new! Kids grow out clothes quickly, but that doesn’t mean the clothing needs to fall into the waste bin. This small update will make that too-tiny piece into an item younger siblings will want to wear instead of a dreaded hand-me-down.
What You’ll Need:
Flower Love Applique
Flower Peace Applique
Rainbow Peace Flag
Rainbow Heart Applique
Love Heart Applique
Sobo Craft Glue
Denim Overalls, Jacket, or Jeans
1. Play with the arrangement of patches until you land on a layout you love.
2. Either use glue or iron patches on to affix them to your garment.
3. Continue this process until all of the patches are attached, and then let dry 24 hours before wearing.
