If you have fabric, clothes, neckties, home textile linens that you want to upcycle or recycle into something new, they how about fabric crafts, making washable, sewn, fabric picture frames - 6 sizes of photo frames total, with photo and text step by step instructions, tools and supply list, quantity of supplies / materials / fabric to buy or cut out, including an iron on, paper backed fabric adhesive called Ultrahold Heat N Bond or Featherlite, used as patterns for the fabric parts, plus gives structure to the frame's fabric parts, from Thermowebonline.com, which also can be bought at Joann Fabric, Michaels, or other craft stores, using store coupons to minimize expenses. You won't need any special tools to buy, except fabric scissors, embroidery or pointy small fabric scissors, iron, sewing machine, extra needles, ruler, pencil or pen, and maybe a quality craft hole puncher, about $6, not the cheap hole punchers from the dollar store, for punching holes through the smaller frame sizes, in lieu of the buttonholes for hanging, which can be made using the zigzag stitch on 0 length and 5 width.

This project is great for home decor to accessorize with, or to give as gifts.

1.5" x 2.5", 2.5" x 3.5", 4x6", 2 for 5x7", and 8x10"
