Hand-made Thursdays

The T-shirt, we love it, we wear it to threads and then what? Well, like most Etsy stores, Marang97 has a knack for taking what was once beautiful and making it beautiful again. Shop owner and designer Angela Pennock attended art school in Detroit, MI at the College for Creative Studies, and now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She makes a variety of things  but we love this carnation flower pin made from a recycled t-shirt. Great for a wedding or prom corsage, hat pin, home decor, on a dog’s collar, sweater or hair tie. $7.50 USD. Ships everywhere.

Etsy shop HeidiMonkey learned to sew at the age of 9 and began to build her empire of crafting. She loves a challange and will take custom orders. Like on this Custom Recycled T-Shirt Handbag/Purse. Outside of bag is 100% recycled cotton t-shirt (which you can send her or she will source for you) inside and bottom (for stability) is repurposed, usually cotton. $39 USD. Only ships to the U.S.
