Warning! This crapt ended up looking like crap.
Hubby had a t-shirt with a hole in the armpit, so instead of tossing it out (or using it as a rag), I cut it up and created a multi-strand scarf.
 |
| Step 1: I cut the shirt across the armpit and then I cut off the bottom hem. |
 |
| Step 2: Then, I cut horizontal strips about 1inch in width. I made sure to stop about an inch from the left seam so that I was left with connected loops. |
 |
| Step 3: I stretched the shirt. Does this count as exercising? (Note: I didn't really stretch it with my foot. This was just my way of showing it being stretched while using both hands to take a photo. ) |
 |
| Step 4: My almost finished scarf- I decided not to sew a strap of fabric around all the loops (Note: Make sure you cut the strands about the same width in step 2. Otherwise you end up with different size loops like I did.) |
I wasn't too impressed with my resulting scarf, so I ended up cutting the loops up to create very long strands. But what to do with them? I fiddled and braided and ended up making this necklace:
Ok, the scarf looked alright, but the necklace was definitely a dud. But that's the joy of crapting! It was bound for the trash anyway, so not to worry. (Hmm, maybe I should have labeled this post as an anti-DIY?)
Hope you have a great weekend. Baby Chuck and I are really looking forward to having hubby around. Pin It
