It all started with Pinterest... which, of course is everybody's obsession these days. But I found a picture of a "T-shirt scarf" that required such little effort I thought, "I could totally do that."
I now have about 12 T-shirt scarves hanging in my closet.
They are so easy to make, and so stylish that I had to share.
I bought my T-shirts at Goodwill. I made sure that there wasn't too much stuff on the front and the back. And the scarf will never look as good if the logo on the front is that really thick plastic, just FYI. Also, for this scarf I'm using a MEDIUM sized men's shirt.
1. Cut your shirt from armpit to armpit
(Save the top part, we'll be using it later)
2. Make sure the shirt is lined up properly and cut off the bottom hem.
3. Begin to cut your shirt into strips.
4. Stretch each your strips out so they curl around the edges. I found that the strips stretch better when you stretch them one by one.
Once you have all your strips stretched out to the length you like, cut a piece off the top part of the shirt and tie it around all the strips to hold them in place.
Aaaaaaand presto! You have a scarf! I like to wear my scarf doubled up like the picture above, but you can also let it hang loose like below.
Consider yourself a pro. Way to go! I seriously made about twelve of these the other day when I had nothing to do. They are my new favorite accessory! Easy too!
