Project of the day: Tshirt Scarves (as promised!)

Today I made two super easy scarves from a couple of tshirts that were less than flattering on me. The first one is just a 6" strip cut from the bottom of an old tshirt (minus the hem) and stretched out so the edges curl. I'd suggest using at least a size large women's shirt. Doubled up or left long, it's a cute addition to an otherwise drab outfit:


The other one was slightly more time consuming but totally cute! I cut 15" circles out of the front, back, and 2 sleeves (it was a fluffy 3/4 sleeve) and then cut 2" spirals from those circles. Stretch out your spirals to make ruffled strips and then cut the ruffled strip in half. I took a scrap piece of tshirt material and tied the bunch of strips together tightly at the center. The finished product is a little more feminine and can be embellished with a brooch or fabric flower:


The best things about these projects are that they require no sewing (yay!) and it really doesn't matter how neat you are with your scissors. So if your kiddo is ok using sharp scissors, this would be a good mother/daughter project.
