I'm sure all of you crafters out there have seen the infamous "upcycled t-shirt necklace/scarf" that perpetually appears in various Pinterest boards. Here is one example, and here's another. Easy enough right? T-shirt + scissors = scarf.
Fortunately for me, my wonderful boyfriend has one, insignificant flaw: he owns approximately 200 t-shirts. This is not a joke. And not the nice, acceptable-to-wear-out-to-lunch kind....the kind that I feel should be open game to my Broke Craftster needs. I convinced him to give up a couple (for now), and TA-DA! First Pinterest craft is complete.
Cost: $0 (blue and grey t-shirts from boyfriend's closet)
Rating: Pretty Good
Comments: This took me approximately 30 minutes start to finish (while I was watching a hockey game... probably would have been faster if I had been fully focused, but the Blackhawks always have priority). The fishtail braid looks awesome (I did it the same way you fishtail braid your hair.) I'm not in love with the rest of it...it is definitely more of a necklace than a scarf; I think I would need to use A LOT of t-shirt strands to make it thick enough to add to my neck warmth at all. A decent start, perhaps attempt #2 will turn out a little better.
(I will try to start documenting my crafting process better as I continue with the blogging... if you have any specific questions, ask away!)
