JEANS PACKAGING!

What do you think about using something of alternative to paper for christmas package?

You could reuse it and don't trow it away.

WHAT YOU NEED: a piece of jeans pants, one needle, a cotton thread a little thicker than usual, pins, one tailor's chalk, a cutter, pantyhoses. 

I started  cutting a piece of jeans pants.

I removed the stitched parts...

...and I clumped the two parts of  jeans leg by pins.

I stitched the two longer sides and only one shorter side by needle and thread.

I bent the shorter side to make the base of the little sack.

I pinned the corners to the long sides.

I marked by tailor's chalk some points to cut...

...and the sack body is made.

Let's make the strips to close the little sack.

I cutted some pantyhose strips...

...and I realized two braids, each long about 80 cm.

I inserted them in the cuts. Each braid into each side of sack.

Fill the sack with the gift..

...and wish HAPPY LONG-LASTING CHRISTMAS!

THE SOCKMAN

Have you got old socks, shirts or leggins? we tought to decorate our Christmas with little snowmen!

WE NEED:

old socks or leggings, old shirts, fabric tapes, styrofoam balls of two different size, toothpicks, one neddle, cotton or polyester thread, buttons, one orange fabric strip.

I inserted a toothpick in the bigger styrofoam ball...

...and in the smaller styrofoam ball too.

I cut the leggings a little bit longer than my snowman structure.

I clumped the leggings fabric by a pin. I worked on the wrong side of fabric...

...and I sewed it.

I made the same on the other side.

I cut two circle shape to make a painter hat.

I sewed them together and I refined the hat.

With a fabric strip I made the scarf cutting the hems in many vertical strips.

I used a piece of orange fabric strip for the nose and the buttons for the eyes and the mouth.

I used a leggins ring as base of the snowman.

I realized two snowmen...

....ENJOY YOUR CHRISTMAS!
