Global recycling Day!

Hi there,
yesterday, May 17th was the Global Recycling Day. UNESCO established that day to remind us all of the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. So, from this post I want to encourage you to reuse cloth at home. How? 
Making a bag from an old T-shirt!


MATERIAL:
old t-shirt
scissors

Lay your old t-shirt flat and use a pair of scissors to cut off the sleeves, neck area (so that it aligns with the sleeve cuts), and the bottom.

Now cut little strips on the bottom of the t-shirt (look at the photo)

TIP: While you are cutting the fringe take both the front and the back layer of the t-shirt so that you have pairs of strips.


Tie the strips together at the bottom in pairs until all of them are tied together and the bottom of the t-shirt is closed. Now you have a bag!


NOTICE: I cannot repeat the activity because I do not have another old t-shirt but I advice you to cut long strips because the idea is to have bags like the ones I show you in the photo below.




When you finish, upload a photo to your padlet.
