Scarf Tutorial From Old T Shirt

Hey guys!

I found this cool scarf tutorial in Glamour magazine a while back and have been meaning to try it and last night... I finally did! They got it from the book, P.S. I Made This... by Erica Nomesek.  I bet the whole book is good... may have to check that out! Anyways, the whole process takes about 15 minutes.  Super Easy.

First you find a t-shirt that you don't wear anymore.  I used a long sleeve one that had gotten a whole in it. Next, you just cut it straight across from arm hole to arm hole and throw away the top half.  I kept mine for scrap fabric though.. you never know :)

Now, you take the unhemmed side and begin cutting strips about every half inch to create fringe. Cut strips all the way around.  I cut about half way up.. but really you can make them as long or short as you like.

That's it!! Voila!!  A hip new scarf out of an old ratty t shirt. This is perfect for fall because it's not a warm scarf.. just a cutsie one :)

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend everybody !

Dreamcatcher

I am really into dreamcatchers right now for some reason.  I used to have one hanging above my bed a looonngg time ago to "catch my dreams."  Now, I just like the way they look.   I bought a kit to make my own dreamcatcher from Hobby Lobby.  If you haven't made one, you should try it. It's pretty fun!
Here is a tutorial on how to make one from the Free People blog(which I ABSOLUTELY love)...

Not fancy or perfect.. but I had fun making it and that's what counts :)
