Just cut outa bunch of 10 inch circles (I used a lid as a pattern) from old t-shirts. 1-3 t-shirts must be killed to make this project, depending on how big the shirt is, and if it has sleeves you can cut up. I used 2 women's size smalls, and the sleeves from 1 child's shirt. Stack up the circles (you will need about 20 circles total) and cut them into spirals:
Pull the strips apart, overlap the less curly ends by about 6 inches, so they form a gentle arc, then sew together like this:
Pile up all the strips at the sewn spots, aligning the arcs. This will be the back, behind the wearers' neck. About 5 inches from the sewn stack. Sew across the tentacles. Sew across the stack again 5 inches further ...
this makes a liittle spot to loop the other side through. At this point, the scarf is done, but I like to sew a few buttons and ornaments on the last seam for decoration.
Loop the tentacles from one side through the opening in the other, and voila!  |
