How to Upcycle a T-Shirt into a Scarf
Don't throw out those daggy old t-shirts! Give them a new life as a unique scarf. This project can be completed in less than half an hour and doesn't even require sewing skills!
Gather your supplies
- Old t-shirts in co-ordinating colours. The bigger the better. Seamless t-shirts are an added bonus.
- Scissors
Steps
- Cut across the body of the t-shirt to make strips that are approximately 4cm wide. The strips don't need to be neat and the width of each strip can vary.
- Hold the fabric firmly and stretch the strips as far as possible. They will lengthen and curl inwards to create soft tubes.
- Gather all the tubes together to create a multi-strand loop, aligning the seams.
- Double it over, twisting into a second loop.
- Tie a spare piece of fabric round the seams. This holds it together as well as covering the seams.
