Crafting / How to make the scarf. My So Called Green Life...: Upcycle: Tshirt into funky necklace.

I am going to be fully accessorized by the time Fall rolls around! I've been madly purging my closet -- ten year old suits? Yeah, don't think I'm going to be needing those! -- and finally made the decision to discard some old jersey gaucho-type pants that the Hubs hates. Did I say HATES!? Of course, about 2.5 seconds after I put them in the Goodwill bag I was taking them back out thinking "I know I can make something with all this material! " You don't need ugly gauchos to make these. Once the strips were all cut, I gathered them together, then wrapped extra strips around the seams to hide them. The blue version I made was the first, so I just played with it a bit. I really like the way it turned out with the beads. There are so many possibilities with these and no right or wrong way to do it. DIY Circle Scarf | If you’re one of those people who needs a last minute Christmas present, a friend’s birthday is coming up, or you just would love a circle scarf, this tutorial might be awesome for you!

I was so surprised when I went into American Apparel and saw their circle scarves for $34! I decided to figure out how to make one for way less, because I knew it would be super easy. One thing different from the regular tutorials out there is that I doubled up the fabric on my scarves. First I did this because I was using a very thin polyester material, but then I continued using it even though I had a t-shirt material. Step 1 First begin with a rectangular piece of material (40 inches x 70 inches). Fold it over lengthwise, so the right sides are facing each other, and then sew along the lengthwise opening.

Step 2 Next, reach one arm all the way through the tube at the seam, and grab a hold of the end. Step 3 Step 4 Using the opening, turn the scarf right side out. Like this: Like Loading... DIY / Sewing Projects.
