my name is kim and i'm addicted to t-shirt fabric.
it's awesome..and stretchy. and doesn't fray.and i really wanted to try one of these t-shirt scarfs...
so i did.

(every friday is spirit day at my daughters school and they are supposed to wear orange and/or black...so we made this scarf so she could still be in style AND have school spirit.)
it's so easy.....you cut a whole bunch of strips....and pull the ends...it naturally curls up.and sew (or hot glue the ends together.....)
you can make it as short or as long as you want...
then i dyed it..(you could do this first..) i wanted a little variation in the pieces so i pulled out strips randomly so there were some light and dark ones...
looks like a bowl of unraveled brains...
after i washed it...i layed them all out even and trimmed the edges.
 and laid it out on a square of fabric...and hot glue...
and bring the other side around...then hot glue like crazy
 and wrap it like a burrito
i added a braid or two before i hot glued it together..i also twisted it a little....



i totally had to put this picture...she was silently cursing me. somedays she loves posing...and somedays she hates that i'm a blogger. it was the latter day.she's so disgusted with me....

anyways..you can wear this scarf with the ends showing...or double it up....
and now that you know how to make it...
here are some other beautiful examples of what you can do:
