T-Shirt Scarf #2

Upcycled T-Shirt Scarf

So here is another way to make a beautiful Scarf out of an old T-Shirt :)

In this case I used one of my oldest son's old T-Shirts...The bigger the T-Shirt the longer the scarf.

My son is 11yrs old, so the shirt wasn't that big, but it still makes a long scarf and I was able to double it up.

So let's get started eh....

First you lay the T-Shirt down flat, and then you cut off the hem at the bottom. 

Next you cut thin strips (not too thin, about 1/2"-1") all the way across the T-Shirt to make big loops.

Next, stretch out each hoop and then wrap it around your hand to form small circles like above.

You can make them as big or small as you like.

With the remaining T-Shirt scraps, cut strips about 2-3" long..this material stretches remember.

Next lay your hoops side by side and tie them together with your strip of T-Shirt.

And this is what you get...You can either leave it open at the end..or tie it together like I did to make one big loop. Now you need to trim off the excess T-Shirt from the knots you tied with the strips of fabric.

Isn't that adorable?! SO easy and fun :) I love it!

Next time I will try it with a bigger shirt so I can make it longer, but I will definitely sport this one.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to make another type of T-Shirt Scarf

Have a great day!

DIY T-Shirt Scarf

This has GOT to be the easiest T-Shirt scarf around..seriously!

I have two other T-Shirt Scarf's I will be doing soon as well..stay tuned.

But for this one this is what you do:

I got this Ladies Large Cotton T-Shirt from the Dollar Tree.

I picked black cause I love it, but then I realized it's hard to do a tutorial with a black shirt, sorry guys.

Lay it flat on a table.  Then cut a straight line right under the arm pit all the way across to the other armpit.

Now you have two pieces.

Toss the top half of the shirt aside for a future project, you only need the bottom half for the scarf.

Cut the hem off the bottom of the shirt.

Cut 1/2" strips (fringe) on the bottom of the shirt about half way up, or just shy of half way up the shirt.

Pull each piece of fringe so the shirt fringe curls up.  

Unfortunately I think my shirt had some spandex in it or something cause my fringe didn't curl up right, but I still like it as is :)

Now put it over your head and Voila! You have a beautiful new accessory :)

I love this, and it's so comfy...I will definitely make another one with a 100% cotton shirt, so I get the effect I want with the fringe.

This is great as casual wear, or dressy wear.  Also great for all ages.  Would make a fantastic homemade gift for someone. 

This would also look great with a T-Shirt that has a pattern in it, or Tie Dye.

Hope you all enjoy this! I will do a couple more T-Shirt Scarf Tutorials soon :)
