Crafts And How-To's 2/15

Hello all you people!! This is Autumn and Skylar with Crafts And How-To's! This week we are going to show you how to make a wrap Skirt.

This is what you will need:
Sharp Scissors
A pair of old pants (any kind will work, we used jeans.)
Needle and Thread or sewing machine
Tape measure or ruler
Ribbon


First you will take your pair of pants and measure 14 inches from the bottom of one legs. Cut at this mark.








Next cut up the side, along the seam.






Then cut the cuff off.








Cut in 2 parts along the other seam. Discarded one half.







Next cut 2 strips of 7 inch ribbon.








Mark where the fabric overlaps with a pin.













pin the ribbon on the spot marked with the pin.












And on the opposite side, on the edge.






Sew both ribbons.




 This is what it should look like.








Overlap and tie.










This is what it will look like.




You can use the other half and make another skirt.







P.S. You may need to hem the top and sides to avoid unraveling.


We hope you have enjoyed this How-To. Comment below and tell use if you would like to see more or less pictures. Or if we could improve this in any way. Thanks.
