DIY- T-shirt Scarf

Today I'd like to show you how to make a quite light weight upcycled scarf. :) My t-shirt is a size 22 and was £2.99 from a charity shop.

 

You will need :

- A pair of large/fabric scissors
- A knitting needle or a stick
- An unwanted t-shirt (the bigger the better)
-*Optional* Small scrap of leather or contrasting material

First cut closest to armpit to armpit, don't chuck this away you may need it later. x







 Now cut across in the same direction, (make sure you a doing it from closed edge to closed edge) cut about half a centimeter down to the otherside leaving an about 2cm gap.

To cause less hassle later on, stick the needle through the t-shirt and carry on cutting the strips.

Once you have got to the end pick up the work by the needle with on hand and with the other gently tug at the strips so that they curl into little tubes. You may need some one to help you do this. :)

From the rest of the t-shirt you left earlier cut a reasonably long and thick strip.
Holding the strip put your hand through the hole held by the needle.
Now wrap the strip several times around and finish with a neat not and tuck in the ends.

You should now have a long tube :) If you have the optional fabric/leather you can sew a small amount around the other end to stop you scarf getting tangled so easily.
I hope this tutorial isn't confusing at all please let me know if you get stuck and it needs rewording. This DIY is a good one to do on a boring day. If you try this I'd love to see your finished product my e-mail is on the Contact page x
