This weeks family fun activity is shirt purses. We had so much fun and they are so simple.
 |
| 1. Find an old T-shirt that you think would make a dazzling purse. |
 |
| 2. Cut the sleeves off the shirt but leave the seam. |
 |
| 3. Wear the sleeves on your head it's fashionable. |
 |
| 4. Cut out a u-shape at the collar leaving at least 2 inches for each strap. The deeper you cut your u-shape the longer your purse straps will be but don't cut past the middle of the shirt. |
 |
| 5. Now would be the perfect moment to compliment your children on their fabulous cutting skills. |
 |
| 6. Cut 1 inch wide strips at the base of the shirt 6 inches up and mesmerize your two-year-old at the same time. |
 |
| 7. Try on your gypsy shirt. |
 |
| 8. Take the first strip of fabric, seperate the top from the bottom and tie it in a square knot. (Before you seperate the strips you could slide a large bead over them and then tie them in a square knot). Continue all the way down. |
 |
| 9. Revel in your finished product, or add some bling to it using ribbons, beads, glitter glue, etc.... My daughter added a pocket to the inside of the purse. |
 |
| 10. Show the world how sassy you can be and save the neck for a bib or scarf, whatever you want to call it. |
