Aprons a go go.....

I am experimenting with aprons of all kinds. This is a fun project. Here are some examples.
This apron is made from duct tape that I hand drew the fabric design with markers. There is a pocket in the front of the apron.


This apron is made from men's ties that someone was cleaning out their closet and getting rid of them. This is what I did with them.





This apron is made out of Starbucks coffee bags and men's ties for the neck strap and the waist ties.


This apron is a store bought canvas apron that I drew pictures all over it and colored them in with markers.


Apron made with men's shirts I bought at the Good Will.
