Keeping ears warm with old t-shirts upcycled earbands

My afternoon fiber art class is pretty free form at Renzi Art and Education. I teach two classes. One with probably fourth through middle school students. And the other one is kindergarten through third grade. I call them the little kids and the big kids. I have one kindergartener that just likes to run around the class room wrapping the students and chairs and our big work table around and 'round with yarn. Like he's a spider and we are one big fly mass.

Last week we worked on making earbands from old t-shirts of Charlie's (see above for examples). I think the kids had the most fun tearing the fabric into tentacles to hang down the back. One of my students has been working on a project for a couple of weeks and he wanted to work on that. You can see the progress he's making in the photograph below.

 Hope to have some photos of my Rockstar Boro garment ready later today.Want to play along? Go to Melanie Testa's blog for all the juicy details.
