January 19, 2012: The cutting edge


Yes! T-Shrits again! More to come too... ahhhahhhahhhaa. Many people are going crazy for this one. The good news is that it is easy breezy so you can whip this one up in a matter of minutes. All you need is:

  • 2 large T-shirts (a cool color combination)
  • Something circular (10-12in... or 25-30cm in diameter - a dinner plate would work)
  • A pencil to trace the circles
  • scissors
That is all! I'll do my best to explain...

  1. Start by spreading the T-shirts out on a table, front side down- smooth any wrinkles.
  2. Use the plate to trace 4 circles on the back of each shirt, if you can fit that many (try not to trace over a collar or hem... or major designs... if you don't want them to be part of your scarf)
  3. Cut each of the circles out (cut through both sides of the shirt, giving you 2 circles for each cut)
  4. If you did 4 cut-outs for each shirt you should end up with 16 total circles. 
  5. Pile the circles from the same shirt on top of each other (2 piles, one from each shirt)
  6. Cut the circle in a spiral - do this for each T-shirt pile of circles
  7. Separate the strands from each other and arrange them in a pleasing way. 
Just like the other T-shirt scarf, I will probably post my own tutorial video... but in the meantime... here is the site that I used to learn. Happy Re-Teeing!
