Another day, another party. It’s been a long week of getting together with friends.
Last night we went out to see our friends new house. Not wanting to come empty handed, I made them some custom coasters.

While cleaning out my closet this week, I discovered this chartreuse t-shirt. It was destined to be donated since I just couldn’t get used to the color on me.I had seen a tutorial on Pinterest for a fringed t-shirt scarf so I figure…why not try it.
So back to my project. I cut the shirt below the arms then cut fringe about half way up the shirt.
I then tugged on each fringe until it stretched nicely giving it nice texture and movement.
And the completed scarf…I think I can handle a splash of chartreuse much better than a whole shirt of it.Sorry that each of my photos are a different hue. The actual color is somewhere in between this photo and the previous one. Bad photo day for me and Photoshop can only do so much.

I’ve been working on this project for longer than I care to admit. I found that I couldn’t work on it in the morning because I was too shaky from numerous cups of coffee to bead and bend jumprings. By afternoon, I just wasn’t interested in working on it.
As you can see I put my own spin on it. I used an old CD for the top of the wind chime. I also included beads with the bottle caps for interest. I’m so happy to have actually used a bunch of the caps I’ve collected over the years as well as all the ones friends save for me.
Now I just need to find the perfect spot for it. Mr. G and I were talking this morning about making a tiki bar on the deck or the patio. I think it would fit in quite nicely!
Here’s the original “pin” that
inspired my above creation:
