We’d like to introduce one of our new bloggers. Shannon will be writing a regular feature called DIY Kids, with crafts and recycling projects you can make with your children.<\/p>\r\n

Going with our “Back To School” theme, today’s project is a Recycled Money Cuff so your child can carry some tuckshop cash safely.<\/p>\r\n

What You’ll Need
<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

A button-down shirt, man’s or large boy’s size
A t-shirt, large (you’ll just need to cut off one sleeve)
Needle and thread
Optional: paint markers, permanent markers, or fabric paints<\/p>\r\n

Time<\/h2>\r\n

less than one hour<\/p>\r\n

\"Money-Cuff-Collage\"<\/p>\r\n

Instructions:<\/h2>\r\n

Step 1<\/h2>\r\n

Cut the cuff off of the man’s shirt.<\/p>\r\n

\"Money-Cuff\"<\/p>\r\n

Step 2<\/h2>\r\n

Cut the sleeve off of the t-shirt.<\/p>\r\n

Step 3<\/h2>\r\n

Unfold the cuff and lay it on a table. Lay the t-shirt sleeve over it and measure a piece from the sleeve slightly larger than the cuff. Keep the hem of the t-shirt sleeve intact, as that will be the top of the money pocket. Cut out a rectangle from the t-shirt just a little bit bigger than the man’s shirt cuff.<\/p>\r\n

Step 4<\/h2>\r\n

Sew the t-shirt rectangle to the inside of the cuff to form a money pocket. Trim any excess from the t-shirt so the edges match.<\/p>\r\n

Step 5<\/h2>\r\n

Fold up your cash and put it in the pocket,<\/p>\r\n

Step 6<\/h2>\r\n

Wrap the cuff around your wrist and button it — it won’t fall out!<\/p>\r\n

Optional<\/h2>\r\n

Decorate your cuff as you wish with markers or paint.\"Money-Cuff-decorated\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
