DIY: Fringe Scarf

Hey friends!

So here's a cool DIY idea I found on pinterest a couple weeks back. Basically just find an old shirt, (I looked through my bag of clothes that were headed to the thrift store) and find a top that's suited to your size/colour preference. I found this bright pink mid-length slouchy top, it wasn't my first pick but it was the best option I had! So next, cut horizontally across the shirt just underneath the arms, (or shorter depending on how long you want the fringe to be). Next, cut the preferred width and length of lines vertically (from the bottom upwards), after that pull each of the individual fringes to loosen them up and then pop it in your drier for about 10 minutes and VOILA! :) Here's a quick pic of my scarf (don't mind the super cute tye-dye pajama shirt):


ALSO: Here's the link to the pinterest post in case my instructions were a little confusing :):

It doesn't call for the scarf to be put in the drier but I found it helped make the scarf look less DIY and more official hahaha :) Enjoy! *Also feel free to check out my pinterest ;)

This super easy and super green(can I get an environmentally conscious hoorah? no? ok.) DIY project is perfect for a handmade addition to a gift, I gave mine to my mom for her birthday, and she loved it (despite the awkwardly cut fringe... I did it at 2am, don't judge)! 

Okay guys that's all, let me know what you think and how it goes if you try it!! Also, feel free to get creative with the other bits of fabric you have leftover, (I made some scrunchies and a headband)!
