T Shirt Reconstruction Ideas?

Hi everyone,

The company I work for has a huge festival every year, and us (volunteering) employees are given t-shirts to wear during the event (so everyone knows to ask us questions, see).

Well, it's become a sort of tradition to mangle the t-shirts however we like, in the most creative of ways. And I think there's even a contest for the best.

Does anyone have any sites or ideas for things I could do with mine? I've seen it all: slashes across the back, cut "fringe" with pony beads etc. I would just like a listing of different techniques or even just pictures...

Thanks, I'm on to read the FAQ too.

Hello! I've got a question.

I want to turn the following picture into a magnet. I know how to go about putting on a magnetic backing but I am wondering if I should put a sealer on top? Or are there any other ways to protect the surface?


Behold! Disco chick!

About a week ago I posted asking about embedding hair (well, cat fur) into Sculpey, for a memorial pendant I was making for my cat Loki who very recently passed away.

Everyone was really helpful -- here's the end result, which I'm really happy with:

mostly cards

so, the other night, y'all were kind enough to help me figure out how to glue my elastic cord - and here is the pic.

I got the hematite star in a gumball machine at Del Taco: 25cents.  And I made the same card over and over with different paper.  It goes faster that way - I made all six in about an hour.
