Supplies  Needed

01

Toddler Pajama Pants

The first item to easily make from a men’s large flannel shirt is a pair of toddler pajama pants from the arms of the shirt.

Infinity Scarves

The flannel shirt should now look like a vest without sleeves. Now, make an infinity scarf by cutting the bottom half of the shirt off

The collar of the shirt and the front and back of one of the breasts will become an iPad mini, e-reader, or bookcase

Hair Scrunchies

DIY scrunchies using scrap fabric or old flannel shirts are a great option for guilt-free hair accessories!
