    It's FANTASTIC how you encourage upcycling random stuff. In my eyes that should be the core of crafting. If more people looked to use what they already have creatively we'd be better people I think 😁

    The chairs are looking really great. When you use acryl to paint fabric, you let it dry, and after that use some vinegar to wet it and then iron the fabric as hot as possible. Depends of the fabric. After it is dry again, you can wash it. Don't know if it works for clothes and put them in the washmachine (it is not good English, I know) but for something you don't wash very often and by hand, it works.

    Them look like the socks I wear when I'm cleaning house, especially mopping, so if they get grungy, it's no big whoop. Then they eventually turn into dust rags, lololol!!
