A few weeks ago me and a couple of my friends stopped at the DI to pick up some t-shirts.... let me show you what we made with them!!
 |
| first lay your t-shirt out on a cutting board- then with the rotary cutter, cut pieces 1 inch wide. Please note that we learned the hard way.... the best shirts to get are: large or xtra large- use ones WITHOUT any side seams. |
 |
| as you can see you will get about 18 pieces per shirt. Once you have them all cut.... |
 |
| take each one and wrap around your thumbs like this...and pull outward, as you pull it tight they will curl up like a rope |
 |
| you can store them like this on a hanger... and interchange the colors you want to match what you're wearing |
 |
| these are the colors we did today, I'm on the look out for a burnt orange & mustard yellow to add for fall. If you look close on the olive green colored one you can see tiny knots... this is what I decided to do with the one shirt that I bought with side seams- the seams don't curl, so I cut the piece where the seam was and then tied it back together with a small double knot. I like the look of a few of them mixed in. So get a trip to the DI planned soon or better yet, raid your closet & use those old t-shirts to make some cute scarfs. Then when your husband asks you if you have seen his favorite old shirt you can say-- I'm wearing it doesn't it look great!! LOL |
