Upcycled T-Shirts: Fashion Scarves




Do It Yourself!  (So much fun!)

Circular Neck Scarf:
Cut 1-2 inch strips across the entire width of the t-shirt,
front and back together in a continuous strip.
I cut about 5 of these strips for each scarf.
  Since the strips are circular in shape already,
(from going around the t-shirt)
you are nearly finished.
Just pull on the strips to stretch them.
For most t-shirts, this will curl the edges in.
Sew or tie the strips together, add a fabric flower,
and you are finished.

Long Ruffled Scarf:
Cut circle shapes from your t-shirt.
These can be about the size of a plate,
and varying sizes will create varying lengths of ruffles.
Cut your circles into 1-2 inch spirals.
Pull on the fabric to stretch it.
Tie or sew the pieces together and you have
a fabulous fashion scarf.

This is a quick and easy project,
and a great way to upcycle old t-shirts.
Seriously, I made most of the pictured scarves
during a football game.
So when I say quick and easy, I mean it!
