I love upcycling! Here's a fun & easy way to accessorize with an old t-shirt. I'm using an old longhorn t-shirt that was headed to the rag bin.
- t-shirt (with no side seams)
- rotary fabric cutter
- ruler
- cutting mat
Using the ruler and rotary cutter, cut off the very bottom of the t-shirt. Be sure to remove all of the bottom hem.
Starting at the bottom of the t-shirt, measure and cut 1 inch strips. (they'll look like loops)
Continue cutting 1 inch strips until you have your desired amount of loop strips.
Stretch out each loop.
Now have fun with all of the t-shirt loops.Wear the loops as a scarf/necklace...
or a cowl...
or even as a bracelet.
The possibilities are endless. Twisting multiple colors together would be fun too. Attaching a cute pin would look great. Show your team spirit with your favorite team's colors. So go find an old t-shirt and make your own accessory.


What a great idea. Thank you for linking up to More The Merrier.
ReplyDeleteI made one of these the other day but could probably have used your tutorial first. Turned out much differently and a little bit ghetto ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I like it!

LOVE IT!!! Not sure I like that you cut up your UT shirt but I think I can let that go.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! and so simple too!
ReplyDeleteI would love if you came over and linked this project to my weekly Round Tuit party at:
http://jembellish.blogspot.com/
I've also just started up a whole page dedicated to clothes upcycling projects with a long-term linky on it. I want to build up a bank of resouces where people can come for ideas for those old clothes they can't bear to throw out! This would be perfect!
Do come and take a look.
Have a great week!

This is soo cute I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeletetoo cute!! what a great way to recycle.
ReplyDeletefound ur blog thru tea rose...u have some awesome recipes - can't wait to get them a try.
I don't have a rotary cutter or board. It should still work with scissors, right? I love the idea. I'm pregnant and don't have a very big maternity wardrobe, so I'm always looking for new ways to dress up the outfits I'm wearing over and over. Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteCity Share- Yes scissors will work just fine. Have Fun & Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea! Love the color of the shirt you used!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how easy this is! I've seen these for sale, and I love the look of it. Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for linking to BeColorful's Motivated Monday
I just saw that scarf/necklace at Urban Outfitters this week, and it was $18! Your color was much cuter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Creative Juice Thursday! Hope you can make it back this week {party opens wed. night @ 8pm CST}
Cute! You're right, many possibilities! I think I like it as a bracelet best. I really need to start upcycling. Such a perfect concept: make something new out of something you already have and never use. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting recycling idea. :) You could use these to tie gift wrapping too, and then decorate with a recycled fabric flower. Cute!
ReplyDeleteTnx for stopping by to link this up at my party this weekend!
So cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I loke more...the great look or the fact you used a longhorn t-shirt {smile}!
Boomer Sooner!

I like this way much better than taking the circles from the sleeves and linking them together.
