About 9 months ago Jason and I were in our local Ralph’s and checking out the clearance aisle (which we do every trip) and I came across an apron for only $1.25. The only downside is that is was emblazoned with “Worlds Greatest Dad” on the front. 
I purchased it with the thought to use it someday and up-cycle it into something else, or give it as a gift someday.
Well that someday came tonight. I opened the package and began thinking what i could do to help this apron.
I decided to cut it and make an apron that would be used. I cut the fabric right under the strap, then folded it to make a new casing for the strap. I looked in my craft stash and found 3 colors of the same size and style of ric-rac. I measured out three pieces in red, yellow and green. I located thread in the same colors and pinned the detailing to the bottom, and sewed them down. I threaded the strap through my new casing and made any appropriate adjustments.
So for about $2.00 (the apron cost and the ric-rac I used) I now have a cute waist apron!
I am working on a lot of refashion’s and up-cycling! Stay tuned!
