I have always left the creative stuff up to other people. Sure I could probably take the award of Craft Mommy with ease, but I usually let the kids have all the craft fun, and do the clean up afterwards. Until now that is.
In my younger days I destroyed quite the many tshirt creating new and exciting designs. But that got away from me as I grew older. When the girls received invites to a Rock Star Party I awoke the morning of inspired to create a Punk Rock shirt for Miss Malie.
She was absolutely livid with me when I first started cutting, but quickly came around. Yay!
I started with a t-shirt that I had ordered from Rainbow Swirlz. I had ordered 2. One with a tree (as shown below) and the other with a Morning Monster Logo. The girls fought over the Tree one but neither wanted to take ownership of the scary monster. So its been sitting since before Christmas time.
I took my scissors to the sleeves first, and then Malie picked out her bead choices. Got em threaded, and then I decided to cut the neck off. So off it came.
My initial thought was that it would an off the shoulder t-shirt, but I didn’t like the finished look of it. So I ended up cutting it a little bit wider, and then I created straps out of the discarded shirt collar. Sewed the straps on with red thread to keep with the whole Punk Rock image.
The t-shirt still didn’t look quite finished. So I took my scissors to the shirt again and cut about 8 inches up each side of the shirt. I then tied the sides of the shirt together to make it more cropped, and fitted.
A huge thank you to Rainbow Swirlz who’s awesome design made my creation all that much more amazing. The Morning Monster Shirt was absolutely perfect!
