No sew Old T-shirts to Scraft

I always love to see the great ideas of making nice stuff with simple ways. I love 'no bake' cake and cookies, and especially 'no sew' item. So, when I saw this beautiful Recycle Tee Circle Scraft by Erin in Cut Out + Keep...and the material you need is just a T-shirt and a scissor, the skill level is PRETTY EASY - JUST CUT! CUT! CUT!  I simply can't resist it!  I change the method a little bit... to make it more easier for lazy me!

I have plenty of old T-shirts that I sorted out during clearing the wardrobe...and just about to send them to the recycle center when I saw this project. How lucky!

Now, let's get started.

old T-shirts

cut off the hem at the bottom of the shirt

cut the shirt horizontal into 1 inch strips / rings.

stretch out the ring, it would turn into a rope-like
Twist and wrap them into rings

Like this

I use 3 T-shirt, because I want it to have an ombre tone
I mix a strip of light color into the dark one to make
the color look lighter gradually 

I didn't tie the ring together as seen in Erin's tutorial,
I just 'knot' them together like this...
overlap two rings...

Insert your hand underneath...

Pull out the ring
Continue the same method for all the rings..

Done!

Forgive me...I seldom wear a scarf..


I'll give this one to my mom...
she loves scarves..
I wonder if she be able to figure out
I made it from my old T-shirts...



Love

PC
This scarf is going to below parties...

    Oh, cool! Some ladies were making scarves out of t-shirts at a craft night I went to, but I didn't stop to see how they were doing it. But I guess I know, now. Thanks!

    You're amazing! I made a no sew necklace similar to this last year, but I never made the loops - I'm going to refashion mine to make yours because I LOVE it! The ombre is too cool too!
    I'm featuring you today! Thanks for linking up to WWWW!

    Your scarf looks fantastic, PC!!! It's so simple that anyone can do it, but it looks complicated. The different shades of blue makes all the difference.
