Do you have any old t-shirts that you loved once upon a time, but they don't fit anymore, have holes or stains in them, or just don't work in your wardrobe anymore? The color might be nice, but the shirt just doesn't work as a shirt anymore. I have a solution: make a fun scarf out of it. No sewing required, just some scissor skills! It's so easy that your kids could even do it.
Here is a photo tutorial of what to do:
 |
| Just a plain shirt that I never wear anymore in a fun color |
 |
| Cut the shirt across just under the arm holes. The line doesn't even have to be straight! |
 |
| Make slits 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up from the bottom, leaving the fringe with a hem |
 |
| Cut it all the way around. Precision is not necessary. |
 |
| After cutting the fringe, pull gently on each to cause it to twist and slim down. Final product is a fun and unique scarf! |
You could also use fabric paint to create a pattern on the scarf before you cut the fringe to make it even more personal.
