This is a fun project.
You know that well worn old tee shirt that you can’t wear anyplace but at home. The tee shirt you love so much and has been worn forever.Well now you can wear it everywhere!

What You Need
Soft cotton T-shirt
Ruler
Scissors or rotary cutter
Ribbon (optional)
Let’s Make It!
Lay the shirt on a flat surface; cut off the hem and discard. Then cut the body of the shirt horizontally into strips approximately 3/4 of an inch long. (They will actually be loops.)
One at a time, pull the loops open and stretch until the fabric starts to curl. Stack the loops on top of one another so that all the T-shirt side seams are in the same spot.
Once you have the thickness you desire, wrap the seams with a scrap piece of fabric (from the tee shirt) or ribbon (about 6 inches long) . Tuck the end of the scrap under itself and taa daa!

Looks pretty good and easy enough. Thanks for sharing. Great weekend to you.
I am amazed at the ideas and talent people have.
My neck is short - it would probably fill it up, but on a long neck - gorgeous.

Hi! I saw that you're a fellow follower of Etsy it Up and wanted to let you know I'm having my first giveaway on my blog for a Paula Deen Stoneware Baker! Come on over and enter if you're interested!
That is a great idea. I have several old tee shirts and won't throw them out, just reuse them.
awesome DIY xxxx
Brilliant upcycle of an otherwise non-wearable t-shirt. Thank you so much for sharing a great tutorial with us. Happy creating...
I'll have to try this pronto. I have plenty of old t-shirts to destroy.
