How to (Yarn scarf):
1. lay your old tshirt out. It's going to be cut into tiny strips so make sure you don't want it!
2. cut under the armpits straight across and cut off the hem. You're going to be left with a big loop, like a tube top.
3. Starting from either the top or bottom, cut the fabric into 1 inch strips. When you get done, you should have a bunch of loops
4. one by one, stretch the loops out as far as they'll go without breaking. Tshirt fabric is weird, and by stretching it, the outside edge of each strip will curl in.
5. gather all of these up and loop it around your neck!
How to Infinity scarf:
*Do steps 1 &2 of the yarn scarf*
3. cut the tube top shape in half, so you have two medium sized loops.
4. cut one seam on each loop, so now you have two strips of fabric
5. (complicated. sorry) sew - with machine or by hand - the two strips together one of the small ends each. Now you have one really long strip of fabric
6. Sew the next two small ends together. You'll end up with one reaaaally big, medium width loop.
7. stretch it out, so the edges curl in. and voila! you're done!
P.s. don't throw away the tshirt scraps! They can be used for an upcoming craft!
