DIY: T-Shirt Scarves - Dope Accessories.!

So I was surfing the web and I found this cool do-it-yourself project that I wish I could take credit for but its only borrowed.! 

Now on to the DIY Scarf Project::

You will need:

1. An old t-shirt 

• I've been told this will not work on 100% cotton shirts...you can take a risk if you like. ( I used a t-shirt that was 60% cotton and 40% polyester.)
• Also the shirt should not have any seams on the side (it will not stretch out if it does).
• Larger size shirts seem to work better. ( In case you want to double the scarf around your neck.)

2. Scissors

...Now onto the project...

1. Lay your shirt out on a flat surface.

2. Cut the hem off of the bottom of the shirt. (Put it aside because you will use it later.)

3. Now cut strips off of the shirt vertically that are about 1 to 1&1/2 inches wide all the way up to the armpit of the shirt. 

4.Grab 3-4 strips of the shirt in both hands, and gently stretch them out. The strips will naturally curl. 

5. Do this to all of the strips. ( Be sure to stretch them all to the same length.) 

6. Take the hem that you set aside and use it to tie around all of the strips to keep them in place. ( I tied mines in a bow to make it pretty.)

All done.!

• Get creative try draping them, combining colors, wrapping one end with access fabric, braiding the strips for a braided scarf, or even adding beads/pins. 

Finished look:

This is would make a great Christmas gift and could cost nothing to you..!

I got a lot of compliments the day I wore mines out and about shopping.!
