We’ve all been spending a lot more time indoors lately- freshen up your space with this decorative wall hanging made from old T-shirts.

This is a multi-step project you can do over a weekend, or skip the dyeing if you prefer and use coloured t-shirts for the wall hanging.

-2-3 medium to large pots
-2-3 spoons
-Slotted spoon
-Drop cloth or plastic garbage bag, cut open

-Rubber gloves (optional)
