Upcycled Tshirt Racer Back Tank Tutorial

I've made a few of these already and I must say I am in love with them. They are comfortable and it's not to much fabric for when you're working out. It's best if you use a shirt thats a size to big for you otherwise it might get a little tight.

Get an old tshirt and cut the sleeves off at the seams.

Next, cut off the collar.

Then cut about 1.5 inches farther down into the collar. When you get halfway fold it over so you can use it as a template so the collar of the tank top won't be crooked.

Start about an inch away from the edge of the collar and cut all the way to the bottom of the arm holes.

Now cut about a 2 inch strip from one of the sleeves and cut it so it lays flat.

Bunch up the back of the tshirt and wrap the strip around it twice and tie a knot.

You can twist the strip so that the know is in the inside.

Now you have an awesome new tank top :)

Upcycled Tshirt Headband Tutorial

Now that you have that left over fabric from making the work out racer tank, why don't you make a matching hairband to keep sweaty hair out of your face.

Cut the seam of the end of the sleeve. Then cut about 9 strips at about half an inch to an inch wide.

Pull on the strips to make them curl up.

Take one of the strips and wrap it around the other strips and tuck the ends into the knot.

This is what it will look like when you are done.

Upcycled Tshirt Dog Rope Toy Tutorial

This is a cute idea if you have extra scraps of fabric from making scarves out of old tshirts or if you have random pieces of fabric lying around.

First I cut 6 strips about 2 feet long from the body of the shirt and braided them together. Repeat this 2 more times for a total of 3 braids.

Then simply braid all three braids together and tie knots at both ends. Make sure to cut of the extra fabric left at both ends after you knot it.

My dog loved this! It's a cheap toy that's good for puppies that like to chew on everything.

Another Upcycled Tshirt Summer Scarf Tutorial

Who doesn't love wearing a scarf with a cute shirt or some tank tops in the summer to add some color and style?

Get an old t-shirt and cut the bottom hem off. I used an old cotton knit shirt for this not just a regular cotton shirt.

Then make a cut all the way across right underneath the armpits

Then cut strips up the shirt about 5 inches make them thin about 1/2 an inch wide

Then pull on the ends to make them curl up

And you my wonderful friend are done :) 

Short, simple and SO CUTE!

Upcycled T-shirt Scarf Tutorial

This is a quick and easy project you can do with any old shirt you might have

Get an old t shirt - if you want it to wrap around your neck you will need at least an extra large.

First cut the bottom hem off

Then cut 8-10 strips from the body of the shirt. It doesnt matter about the width you could make them all different sizes to vary the strips in the scarf.

Then pull on the ends so they curl up, then line up the hems

Next take one of the strips and wrap it around the hems and tuck the ends in

Now all you have to do is put it around your neck & you are done :)
