Pinterst Project: More T-shirt Scarves!

Please forgive the colors in the picture. My camera phone isn't the greatest, but for now it'll suffice...next time i wear it, I'll try for a better shot.

There are some beautiful up-cycled t-shirt scarves floating around Pinterest and this is my third different attempt.  I found the Pin that lead me to the original blog here and I'll admit I was kinda scared when it told me to get creative...on my own. But, I'm glad it did because I had to think about what I wanted to make and how I wanted it to come out. I'm please with how mine finished. This is a red, gray, and blacked themed scarf/necklace/cowl/whatever in the world it is... and I made it for my husband's middle school soccer team's upcoming season. I grabbed a red, black, and gray blood bank t-shirt (because my Dad has a million...he's such a great donor!!) and I started following the directions for cutting in the blog. I began with the multicolor piece and just knotted, braided, and knotted. I then braided the red, which was a tad longer and I knew would be great for layering. The black was shorter and I took three and just twisted them. The lower black ring was just a 2 1/2 in section untwisted, just stretched. I was going for a multi-styled look and I think I got what I wanted. I gathered them in the back, wrapped the ends with spare cloth and stitched it up. The back is a bit chunky, so I can only really wear this when my hair is down, but I like how it turned out! :)

I also made a black replica of the aqua one on her blog, but because of my wonderful camera, it just looked like a black cord. I'll get a better shot of that as well...one day! :)
