If you have daughters or girls in the family I’m sure you know Hello Kitty. There was a time my girls loved it, they even had clothes of her and they wore them happily. But girls grow and clothes don’t, so tragedy is served. What can you do if you have one small T-shirt that doesn’t fit your daughter anymore? Something this simple.
I took the T-shirt and cut the sides
I took an old ugly frame I found at a flea market, and decided to paint it pink with some shadows of white. I used my homemade chalk paint for this.
I added a bit of red to the white chalk paint and mixed it. Then I dry brushed the frame with some white, then stapled the T-shirt on it and I was done, we had a pretty Hello Kitty picture! Is there anything simpler than this?
Girls happy, mommy happy!
Now you know, don’t throw away those all T-shirts with a drawing you like.
Hugs,
Pili

Yay!! My kind of re purpose !! I love anything having to do with old clothing! ! So cute!
Yes, mine too! Easy and cute!!
Very cute Pili! I remember the Hello Kitty aera! And luckily there were no stains anywhere on the shirt. My kids always have stains everywhere. Great idea!
Luckily no stains on this one, but that’s not the normal thing… That’s why we can’t do the same with the rest of the t-shirts they have
What a neat idea!

Thank you so much, Charlotte
I love everything about this project! Hello Kitty, the cuteness overload AND that you gave an old shirt new life. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Welcome Home Wednesday!!! We’d love to see more of you next week =)
I’m a huge fan of repurposing everything that falls into my hands. Thanks for stopping by Lyn
I love how you constantly come up with these ‘why-didn’t-I-think-of-that’ posts that are so simple, and so amazing at the same time. Thanks for sharing with the #GoodFriendsFriday linky party, our latest post is live!
Haha, that happens to me most of the time, I see something simple and I ask myself that question
What a cute idea! Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle Sunday!
You’re really kind, Beverly

You’re very welcome Mary
I so appreciate you sharing your post at the #AnythingGoes Link Party. I’m looking forward to what you’ll share with us next week.
I have much more to share, Sandy. Enjoy your week
What a simple but effective idea. I don’t have much in the way of motif shirts but if I do ever need to throw on old favourite away, I’ll know what to do with it. You’re so clever!

I don’t either, but you know what happens with little girls… I will do what is necessary to avoid a battle!
Pili, this is a great idea, the kids had certain pieces of clothing they loved and didn’t want to get rid of, this is a great way to still show it off and love it! And the frame fits it’s perfectly!!!
Yes Nikki, I can understand they like some items and don’t want to get rid of them, so this is a great way to keep it
What a sweet idea for recycle! Very clever! Thank you for sharing this inspiration at Making Broken Beautiful! I hope you will come and inspire again!
Have a great day!
Smiles!

Thanks a lot for your kind comments, Terry!
I LOVE this!! I used one of my daughter’s shirts that she got for her birthday and made a little pillow out of it. But I love the framed art idea even better! Thank you so much for sharing at my craft party on Thursday! Hope to see your newest posts this week, which starts at 7pm EST.
Hi Denise, a pillow is a great idea too! I will think about it the next time I need to up cycle any other shirt
I love how you reuse everything! I think I can learn a thing or two from you! Thanks for linking up with #frifree4all
You’re really kind Hayley! Thanks for stopping by
Awwww my daughter had the same T-shirt way back when. I wish I’d kept it after seeing what you did Pili, so cute
