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.
