About "T-Shirt" Necklaces

We have been seeing these really fun T-shirt necklaces all over lately and we thought we needed to make our own version. Instead of a T-shirt though we used our new Light Jersey Circle Scarves, which gives a longer necklace and therefore a lot more options for the ways you can wear it. Plus, there's no need to cut up your favorite t-shirt!

Let's Get Started!

Shopping list:

One (or two) dyed Circle Scarf in Light Jersey

Scissors or a Rotary fabric cutter

Ruler (totally optional, we didn't use one, but if you prefer more precise strips use one!)

First Dye Your Scarf.

Check out the easy Bread Bag method (what we used for this tutorial)! For other dyeing techniques check here.

Then Cut Your Scarf.

Fold your scarf at the seam and lay it out flat on a table.

Start cutting — Start from the unseamed end, Make 1” strips, cutting almost to the seam but not quite, the seam is what will hold everything together.

Stretch It Out!

Once all the strips are cut take each strip one at a time and stretch it. This will cause the edges to curl in, hiding the cut edges.

Lookin' Good!
