Yesterday at my MOMS group a friend of mine had on a t-shirt scarf that she had made. It was so cute and sounded easy enough that I thought I would give it a shot. I went to Michaels today and got some different color t-shirts for $2.50 a piece.
All you need is your t-shirt, a ruler (not a must but helpful), and a pair of scissors or a rotary cutter. I used an adult small t-shirt. If I do it again I would probably by an adult medium or large t-shirt just so that my scarf was a little longer.
First you need to cut off the shirt right below the armpits and cut the seam off of the bottom of the shirt. Then cut the shirt into 1" strips.
Each strip will look something like this.
After all of your strips are cut take each one and stretch it out.
I took one of the strips and cut it apart to wrap around all of the strips and knotted it to keep them all together.
awesome! wanna make me one?
ReplyDeleteI made a brown one, it's super easy! But, when i wear it, it leaves little brown fuzzies from where i cut it all over my shirt. does your purple one do that? do you think washing the shirt before making the scarf would help in the future?
ReplyDeleteYes, mine did do that at first. However, it really didn't last long. Try putting it in the dryer and maybe that will get the fuzzy things off.
