Our Friendship Rug

 

Our Friendship rug is finished!!

What does it take to transform a pile of old T-shirts into spectacular works of woven art? Just a spare hula hoop, lots of hard work and a classroom full of eager kindergartners.

I cut all the donated t-shirts (thank you parents, teachers but especially Mr Potts!) into 1 inch strips. As a class we then sorted our t shirts by colour.  We then started  looping the tees around the hula hoop. Each one is connected to the one prior by pulling the loop through. When we got close to the edge of the hula hoop, we cut the white & green loops and tied them in knots.

                  
                                          

It was a great project that the kids thoroughly enjoyed. It will definitely help us to remember that when we work together, we can create something special

I got the idea from here if you ever wanted to make your own:
