No Sew Ruffle Scarf {tutorial}

Now I know y'all are going to
LoVe
this one...cuz I sure do

finishedscarf

You are NeVeR going to believe what it's made of...


That's right...a FrIgGiN' T-sHiRt
What else will you need?

A dinner plate
Fabric glue
Scissors
{{ignore the yellow pen..}}

Step 1 ~ Cut the sleeves off!


Step 2 ~ Cut the T down the middle {{like a zipper}}


Step 3 ~ Cut at the shoulders 
{{ you thought you were done cutting didn't you ? }}
HA!  Not even close...


It should look like this...once it's laid out

Step 4 ~ Place plate upside down on t-shirt.
Try to cut as close to the edges as you can. 


It's a sLoPpY CiRcLe...but it does the job
I got {{ 7 }} circles out of  {{ 1 }} t-shirt

Step 5 ~ Cut each circle into a spiral


WhOa!!!
And I thought my circle was sloppy...sheesh

Step 6 ~ Hold each piece at the center and pull the tails through your fist.
This step will curl the edges


Step 7 ~ Group all of your pieces together. 
Adjust them so the lengths look fairly staggered but not too cRaZy.

Step 8 ~ Take an extra piece of the t-shirt and wrap around the center of the bunch...


Step 9 ~ Attach with fabric glue
Step 10 ~ Hold in place for a few seconds.  Let sit for about 5 minutes.


You can either leave as is....OR...
eMbElLiSh


I took another leftover piece and made a rosette. 
I attached it directly to the other
scrap with fabric glue.

And...vOiLa...you've got yourself a fAnTaBuLoUs scarf!

I like to add a little fRoStInG...

  17. Gorgeous! I like how you embellished yours.

    I didn't bother trimming mine, I cut it two at a time and it was super quick.

    I'm running out tomorrow to the thrift store to find some awesome colours.

    Thanks so much for dropping by.

  19. oh my gosh!! i LOVE this!! i'm making two right now - one for me and one for my mom for mother's day : ) there are so many possibilities with this!! you could use different size plates to make various size circles and then cutting the spiral into either bigger spirals or smaller gives you a really cool layered scarf. i have every intention of making some more of these in different colors : )

  23. Just out of curiosity, why do you have to cut the "zipper" part? I'm confused about the purpose of that cut. :) Not really a crafty sort myself, but I want to try this one. ;)
