DIY Infinity Scarf
This is a tutorial for an infinity scarf using only one material- a recycled t-shirt.
This takes only 2 minutes to do and looks great.
You will need:
A recycled t-shirt
Scissors
Lay the t-shirt out flat and cut off the top portion, right below the sleeves.
This will leave a square piece of fabric at the bottom.
Roll the shirt up and bunch the fabric a bit to make a ring
I loved this idea so much I made several scarves using different t-shirts.
You can use the leftover fabric to make a matching t-shirt bracelet.
(That tutorial is below.)
DIY T-shirt Bracelets
This is a very easy and
quick DIY project.
All you need
is:
Old
t-shirt
Needle and thread
1 Button
Start by cutting off a piece of fabric that is about 9 inches long and about 4 inches wide. Then starting from the bottom, cut 3 slits, stopping about a half inch from the top. This will create the 4 pieces you will use to weave your bracelet. Instead of a standard braid with 3 pieces, this bracelet is made of a weave of 4 pieces. I had never done this before making the bracelets, but got the hang of it very quickly.

Then you are ready to
start weaving…
Divide the strips into two on the left and two on the right.
Starting on the right side, bring the right strip over the left. Move to the left side and also bring the right strip over the left. Now there will be two pieces in the middle. For the middle pieces, braid the left strip over the right.
YouTube has short video tutorials that demonstrate this. Continue this same pattern until you have braided the whole piece of fabric. Tie a small knot at the bottom.
Bring both ends together and sew together to form the bracelet.
I also sewed on a button to cover up where the ends were sewn. Mine didn’t look too bad without the button, but I thought the button was a cute touch. Instead of buying a new pack of buttons, I just used the spare ones that come extra with shirts.
