Carolyn Braden Trend: Save Cash, Make Your Own T-Shirts!


T-Shirt "Deli's" are popping up everywhere. These are places you can go and pick out letter styles, designs and pictures and have them put on a T-shirt. I went to the "T-Shirt Deli" in Chicago a few years ago. It was a fun experience, but after having the shirts made, I realized I could have done it myself. Click the link below to see how you can make your own T-shirt at home. The article is How to Make a Homemade Band T-Shirt, but you could use my directions to make your shirt say anything!

Carolyn Braden's Monogrammed Canvas Tote

Looking for a classy tote to haul your belongings around in? Here's an idea I saw in Woman's Day magazine. Their instructions weren't as clear as they should have been (my opinion) so I made a video on how to do it my way. I added a style element to the bag as well.

Carolyn Braden's Felt Flower Headbands

Easier and cheaper than ever craft!
I purchased the felt flowers and balls from Hobby Lobby. (About $5.00 a pack). I purchased the headbands in a set of 5 at Target. I assembled them together to figure out the perfect way to glue them. Then I used a hot glue gun to attach them onto the headband. I did this about a month ago and have received tons of compliments since.  Each headband cost less than $5.00 a piece to make.
