In case you think this ringlet t-shirt scarf is difficult or complicated, let me just tell you that it isn’t at all. It is super, duper easy and can be customized with whatever color or colors that you want.

Wow! I hope you’re as inspired as I am to recycle some old t-shirts into fashion accessories and handmade gifts!

Have you ever made a t-shirt scarf?

32 Bela November 14, 2011 at 10:24 pm

These are great ideas and will definitely keep me me busy with the huge bag of old tees that I and the rest of the family has piled up. they will really be fun gifts for Christmas this year and as cold as it’s been so far this fall will be great additions to my wardrobe as well.

33 Sewing (And Food) From the Heart November 17, 2011 at 1:04 pm

I want to make a few of these the only problem is right now I don’t have any tshirts to use so I’m kind of depressed. lol But I have many plans for when i do get tshirts. I’m going to give a few as Christmas gifts this year.

34 Myra November 17, 2011 at 1:55 pm: Check out your local thrift shop for very inexpensive t-shirts!!

35 Miranda @ The Bright Side of Reality November 21, 2011 at 7:52 pm

This is a great idea! Who would have thought that you could make so many cute things from a simple t-shirt!

36 Lilliandil December 24, 2011 at 4:04 pm

Thanks for sharing your wonderful gift of creativity! I checked out some of your recipes too! A lady from my church made me one of these and now I’m going to attempt to make a few of my own! God Bless and keep posting please!

37 Benjina March 11, 2012 at 3:50 am

Help! I can’t make my T shirts roll into tubes when I cut them into strips! What am I doing wrong?

39 Myra March 13, 2012 at 4:39 pm: Hi Dorene, I’m not sure which scarf you’re trying to make, but maybe try pulling on the strips to make the edges roll?

Reply
40 Rena April 8, 2012 at 6:59 am: I can’t get my t-shirt strips to roll either. It’s a 100% cotton t-shirt recommended in the directions. I have watched several tutorials, and I’m so disappointed. I love the scarves and want to make one. Any suggestions?

44 Francy July 12, 2012 at 9:16 pm

I try to host a craft/DIY night once in a while for a girls get together and last fall we made the ruffle scarf from Tidy Mom. It was soooo fun, soooo easy, and the scarfs are awesome and look great. We also made the felt flower to pin on the scarf. Whenever I wear mine I get tons of compliments….they never know it’s made from an old holey black T shirt!!

45 Angela September 18, 2012 at 7:12 pm

Love the scarves!! was looking for something to make for this weekend’s Auburn game. Found it!

46 Jacquie Sturmer March 24, 2013 at 7:51 pm

I made loads of the ruffle scarves, and after a while the ruffle stretch out and look like long noodles. Have you figured out a way to prevent this from happening.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it
or something. I think that you could do with a few pics
to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this
is great blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
