Tights transformed to Arm Warmers




What do you do with a pair of tights that are too short and have a hole in them? Of course silly, you turn them into arm warmers for your fashion forward first grader.
Directions:

Cut off the feet and the legs portion below the hole.

Hem the edges with a zig-zag stitch.

Sew in a couple of shirring stitches with elastic thread. To use elastic thread you wind the bobbin loosely by hand with the elastic thread and sew with the stitch setting on a 5. Use your normal thread on top.

I added a ribbon and heart decoration so it could be a special something to wear around Valentine's Day.
