T-Shirt Scarves

I am obsessed with the new t-shirt scarves that have taken over Pinterest but to be honest - it looked like to much work to actually make...

So, instead of sleeping, I decided to make these t-shirt scarves for my co-workers for our Christmas exchange that was happening the next day... what can I say, I'm a procrastinator.

My Walmart shopping list:
1 - four pack of men's XL undershirts (w/o the pockets)
*you can also use any old shirts from your closet - I will be making a lot of blue scarves from all my Free Royals shirts....

What you'll need from your craft station:
good pair of scissors
needle and thread (very light sewing here folks)

Cut off the bottom hem of the shirt

Cut once inch strips all the way up to the sleeves

Preparation

Iron the shirts - this makes for easier cutting. 

Lay out on carpet and smooth out creases 



After each cutting each strip, stretch it out as much as it will go and lay aside.

Make sure to cut an extra strip and cut it so it is one long piece with ends.

I did a grey and a black shirt to make the scarf two-toned.



Gather the strands together ( I only did about 8 strands - 4 grey, 4 black)
Take the extra strip and tie the strands together
Wrap the fastener strand around as many times as you like, cut and tuck end into wrapped area.

Sew a few stitches where you tucked the fabric in to make sure it doesn't loosen and come out.

And that's all it takes! Super easy! I will post the 'how-to' on the t-shirt flower tomorrow :)

My co-workers loved them and now we are having a scarf making day in our boardroom tomorrow...

crafts at work, yes please!
