Ever wondered how to make a T-shirt Scarf? But don't want to spend a lot of money buying one? We are here to help you learn how to make a fashionable T-shirt scarf with just a few items that you already own.
This project is very easy to make and very functional! Supplies you will need Include:: 1.
An old t-shirt.
The softer the better just for pure comfort.
I selected an old gray shirt from the bottom of my drawer.
It's worn out and comfy.
2.
About 18″ of sheer ribbon.
3.
8 - 10 A Bead Store's large hole pandora style beads.
4.
Scissors.
First, cut the hem off the bottom of the shirt.
Save this for a later step.
Then cut off the sleeves of the shirt just below the armpit seam.
Discard this top portion of the shirt - do not attempt to wear as a half shirt.
We put ours on Hank the dog.
He didn't like it.
Measure 1″ sections up the side of the shirt and snip a cut so you will know where to make each cut across the shirt.
Cut each strip, leaving about an inch and a half to the other side.
Be sure not to cut all the way across.
Hold the shirt on the end that is uncut.
Pull each loop.
This will cause the t shirt fabric to roll and stretch.
Gather the shirt together at the uncut seam.
Use a small piece of the hem you cut off in step one to secure the scarf.
Cover the seam.
At this point I grabbed three of my loops and braided them from the center.
It creates a braid on both sides.
I didn't really do anything to secure the braid.
I like the way it is loose in spots and tight in others.
This is optional -but I think it adds a little something.
Thread your selected beads onto your ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the scarf to cover the seams.
I pushed the beads towards one end of the ribbon and it was the last portion I wrapped.
I brought it up across the ribbon wrap and tied it with a knot.
These are casual and fun and are very cost efficient.
They go great with a shirt and jeans! Perfect to keep you warm! You could also choose a Czech glass button to embellish it.
Be creative! Happy Beading!
