Torn Tights

From the Youngest Daughter :)
Last week I had my last ballet classes for the school year. And on the last day of class it's a tradition to rip our tights! We all wore our oldest tights, mine already had three runs in them. And then we went crazy ripping holes in them, cutting smiley faces in them, tearing at our runs to make them bigger! It was great. :)
So I had this pair of pretty much useless torn up tights. Wanna know what I did with them?
1. I cut strips out of them and braided this simple ankle bracelet. :)

2. I used the waist band to make a head band! I sewed this little flower thing out of a seperate piece.
I love making cool stuff out of junk. :)

    One other funny last day of class tradition is to do the chicken dance! It's hilarious to see a bunch of ballet dancers doing it!! Good times. :-D

  3. I wish we had a "last day of choir" tradition. Wouldn't that be awesome! What would we do. Hmmmm. Probably pick one of the songs we know, and everybody try doing the solo at once, that always makes us laugh! Or sing "Old McDonald" in harmony,or a round or something.

  4. As it was, Emalynn and I had a blast during choir. We didn't sign up for auditions in time, (in time to make it that day) so we sat outside in the sun.
