A couple of days ago an anonymous commenter pointed me to a DIY tutorial for this:


Want to know what it's made of? Two DownEast Wonder Tees! I am so excited to make one of these that I ran to the DownEast Warehouse to find two tees of the same color (which turned out to be more difficult than one might think).

If you want to learn how to make one for yourself, find the tutorial at Tea Rose Home. I'll let you know how mine turns out.
