We're having a family cybercraft on CNA this week and I thought I'd do a simple tutorial for making a scarf from an old tee shirt. A small child's tee might make a collar whilst an xlarge adult one might wrap round twice.
Materials needed:
A tee shirt (any size, they all give different results)
A pair of scissors (preferably fabric but kitchen scissors will do)
Optional beads and ribbons etc to decorate
Cut off the hem, sleeves and neck
Trim the armholes to straighten them and then cut inch wide strips through the fabric from the top (don't cut all the way down)
Knot strips and decorate if desired
Wear
Here's another finished item from a cheap vest which has developed holes - here the strips have been cut from the bottom to retain the picture
There are lots of different way to cut up a tee shirt to make a scarf. You could cut through one side so it can be wrapped. You might spiral a cut up the tee to give a long winding length or tie ribbons onto the cuts. Experiment with different widths and length of both tee shirt and cut strips.
Experiment and have fun!
