Old T-shirts into Scarfs

 For you Ladies that didn't get to make these! 

These are great quick & easy gifts 

What You Need:

• T-shirt – the larger and wider the t-shirt, the longer and chunkier your scarf will be.
• Scissors
• Decoration elements: leather, ribbon, broken jewelry, buttons, beads, etc. get creative!
• Hot glue gun

Do It:

1. Cut your t-shirt from armpit to armpit lengthwise and dispose of the top part of your t-shirt (the part with the sleeves).
2. Take your tube (the body part of the t-shirt) and cut the bottom hem off so you’re left with a tube that has two un-hemmed edges.
3. Cut 3/4″ to 1″ wide strips from one looped end to the other, leaving around 1″ uncut at the top  - watch the video for this step to see the visual.
4. Once you have all your strips cut pull on each length to stretch them out and get them to curl.
5. Gather all of your strips together at the un-cut section so you have them all together in a loop – it should look like a looped scarf at this point.
6. Cover up your uncut section using whatever you want: a piece of leather, ribbon, another piece of t-shirt, etc.
7. Add some snazz to your leather or ribbon by hot-gluing on some jewelry, beads, chain, buttons, etc. or just cut the bottom seam and tie that around all the stripes.
8. Optional step: cut three strips and braid them together and then tie them back into the scarf so you have one braided length

Voila! Wear it long or double it. Fun fun fun!!!
