Make yarn from old t-shirts. I love using t-shirt yarn to make rugs with but the possibilities are truly endless when you think about it. I'm thinking about attempting a cushion of some sort with the stash of old shirts I have... We shall see how that turns out, but first to make the yarn.
Step one: Take an old t-shirt and lay out as flat as possible.
Step two: Cut small strips (about 1/2 inch to an inch) horizontally to about an inch from the side.
Step three: Continue this up to the sleeves and completely cut the top off.
Step four: Take the side where the strips are still connected and cut diagonally from one strip to the next. Continue this until you have cut all the strips and are left with one long strip of fabric.
Step five: Take the strip of fabric and roll into a ball. And as simple as that you now have a ball of t-shirt yarn!
Tell me what you like to make with old t-shirts!
