The weather outside is frightful...but the fire is so delightful!
No, I'm kidding, it's not really frightful. But, we did have a fire last night and it was delightful! We ordered a pizza, rented a movie, and had a night in with the fireplace going. So relaxing :)
The weather may not be quite frightful - yet - but it sure is getting cold out there..and I'm into scarves. Any time I'm at the store, I'm drawn to the scarf section. I have no idea why, but I am. So after seeing a scarf like this on Pinterest, I searched my drawers for a shirt that I could turn into a scarf. I chose this mustard-colored tank top. $3.50 at Forever 21, so even if I messed up, it wouldn't be too big of a loss. I do wish I had opted for a shirt that didn't have ridges going down it because I believe it would give the scarf a cleaner look, but I'll keep that in mind for next time.
The best part of all - no sewing involved :)
1. Pick a shirt. Any shirt! Cut it below the sleeves. You can make the bottom part however wide you'd like. (After I made the cut, I stretched out the material since this tank was a bit on the smaller side)
2. Make slits up the shirt using scissors. (You can go as far up or down as you'd like - this will just change the look of the pieces hanging)
3. Pull slit pieces down hard to stretch.
Voila!
