Ok, so I didn't actually re-purpose the t-shirt itself... I re-purposed the embellishments that were on it.
Step 1: Take out an old t-shirt that has embellishments on it. Step 2: Cut out the embellishments. Step 3: Place the embellishments on a piece of felt, trace the outline of the embellishments on the felt and cut it out. Step 4: Hot glue the embellishments onto a headband and then hot glue the piece of felt onto the back of the embellishments (this is to make it extra secure on the headband).
And voilà! It's that simple!
Here's Gabrielle sporting the headband:
Have a FABULOUS day!!

So cute and super clever. Great idea. I will now look at all my daughter's old t-shirts in a totally different light :)
Oh that's such a pretty headband! What a great idea
That is really cute -- and the flowers would be easy to make with felt and embroidery thread if a person didn't have this same shirt. Though, how cool that you didn't have to do a ton of work for such a cute result!
What a great reuse. I'm thinking I need to make some out of felt...and soon!
We'd love for you to link up to our Finished Friday Blog Party.
Excellent repurpose! I love that idea! Thanks for linking up to the Pomp Party!
Cute and so easy...thanks for the idea!
So clever! You could probably also make a stranded necklace out of the good parts of the T-shirt. I can see why you were bothered when the T got ruined!
A great refashion and a fabulous way to keep part of the t-shirt!!! I'm pinning this. I'd love you to share this at our ongoing link that's just for Hair Accessories...
