I know you have at least 100 t-shirt laying around your house! What to do with them all is the question I often have? Hide Your Arms has compiled a picture list of 100 ideas to make or do with your t-shirts, many linked to tutorials. There are shirt refashions, dresses, skirts, bags, belts, rugs, quilts, etc. These are a few of my favorites:

You will have to go to this post to find out what these ideas are and how to make them. (I'm tired and want to go to bed.) For more ideas on re-using and re-styling t-shirts, go to my t-shirt archive HERE.

I know you have some re-using t-shirt posts on your blog. Link to them here so we can share in the t-shirt fun!!!!


Hanging Halloween

Strolling through blogland is exciting. There are so many fun ideas when it comes to things that you can hang. Here are a few I've found. At the bottom, add anything you "hang" at your house to decorate. Banners, garlands, wreaths, mobiles, etc.
Don't you just love the ruffles on this banner? Well, I do and I love that the ruffles are made out of coffee filters. So original and fun. See it up close at Northern Cottage.
This unique garland created by Tracy's Fun Stuff using old toilet paper rolls to make the pumpkins and ghosts. Cute and your kids could assist you with it!!!
This gorgeous fall leaf mobile was created by Organize Yourself Now. Wouldn't that look amazing when the sun is coming through the windows!!!
These fun and "spooky" Halloween banners are made with paper and/or chipboard. Find the tutorial at Brixton Lane.
Hang interchangeable words/letters on the wall depending on the holiday or season. Visit All Things Heart and Home to see what other words she uses in this frame.
I know this darling ragamuffin garland is the wrong colors for the season, but don't you think this would look stunning in fall colors or with black, white, orange and purple. The Schoettler Family made this for her daughter (and it is very cute for her room).
And last, but not least, can we have a post about hanging things without mentioning burlap banners mad with freezer paper stencils? I think not! These are the trendiest banners around right now. Here is a cute one from The Polka Dot Pig.
There are a million things you could hang to assist with decorating. Do you have something to add. Show it off by linking up!

Ghosts Ideas

Halloween is coming and most of the decorations I've seen involve pumpkins. Don't get me wrong, I love the pumpkins I've seen, but let's look at other Halloween items....like ghosts. Link up at the end of this post if you have a ghost project OR if you've seen a cute/fun/spooky ghost project on a blog.

Here are a few I have seen recently.
This is a trick-or-treat bag with "feet" ghosts. My daughter would love to make ghosts by running around in paint and then stepping on paper or material!!! Great idea by Mama Thompson!
Aren't these ghosts made out of lightbulbs fun? Again, Mama Thompson had this idea!
These simple wood ghosts would be quick and easy to make. Third times a charm for Mama Thompson.
How about making your pumpkins into votive ghosts? I like these found at Parents.

Do you have a ghost project or decoration OR seen one out there in blog land. IF SO, Link up here!!!
