Materials:

• Old T-shirt
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Grab a tee shirt and lay out flat.
   
   
    
2. Starting at the bottom, cut one inch wide rings. (You can use the hem if you want) You should get around 16 rings.
   
   
    
3. Stretch out each ring and wrap around your hand three to four times. The more times you wrap around the shorter and thicker your scarf will be.
   
   
    
4. Carefully remove the rings from your hand and set aside. Repeat with each strip.
   
   
    
5. Cut this two inch long strips from the remaining shirt. Stretch the strip out and tie two of the rings together. Tie together the rest of the rings creating a chain. You can leave it like that for a scarf or tie the chain together forming a circle scarf. (as pictured at top) Snip off the excess ties and you're done! Feeling extra festive? Use more than one tee shirt for a more colorful look.
