Infinity Scarf Tutorial

The Weather in Miami is always so hot so the minute that the temperature starts dropping out of the norm, we automatically go into winter mode here. You start to see the "Miamians" wearing the Ugg boots, leather jackets and not to mention scarves. 

It made me think about Black Friday when my sister and I went to Old Navy to go shopping and she was looking at the scarves. When all of a sudden this lady from out of the state sees her looking a the scarf sale rack and says, "What do you need a scarf for, you live in Miami, when will you ever need that?" Lets just say that she was not in a great mood after that. Especially considering that we do not get cool temperature often, so it's not something we take lightly. 

I, like my sister, enjoy scarves. When I found this video online from DIY Dish, I just knew that I had to make it. It was lingering in my mind since last weekend. 

Considering that my husband has quite a few shirts that do not fit him anymore, I decided to raid his closet. What I love about this scarf is the fact that it is so easy to make since it requires NO SEWING! All you really need is a pair of scissors, a plate and a t-shirt and who doesn't have that at home?!

Supplies Needed:

• 1 XL or XXL T-Shirt (The larger the shirt the thicker the scarf)
• 9" Paper Plate (or any larger plate to cut circles from will do)
• Scissors

Directions:

• Lay t-shirt out flat 
• If you can get 8-12 circles it will be pretty thin, but around 15-20 circles will make your scarf fuller, like mine.
• Use paper plate to trace 15-20 circles on t-shirt. (You should be able to get between 7-10 circles on each side).
• Cut out circles.
• Cut each circle into a spiral shape as seen below.
• Once cut into a spiral, stretch each piece being careful not to tear fabric.
• Lay out each piece of fabric and lay down flat together.
• Take a scrap short strip of fabric left over from the shirt and tie it around the bundle of stretched fabric (in the middle), to hold all pieces together. I would do a double knot so that it doesn't come undone.
• Tie around your neck as desired! You can also add a flower, brooch or pin to accessorize if necessary.

Cut out circles into a spiral shape.

Fabric Beaded Necklace

I had this material on hand that really is for a curtain. I enjoyed the material so much since it has a natural sheen to it. I also had some large gold beads that I found rather difficult to put it into place of any accessory, it had been sitting in my bead box for about a year.

Figuring that this was the perfect opportunity to use it, I decided to make this fabric beaded necklace. I had a vintage pearl pin as well that had always called my attention and I was going to use it for a clutch, but it just looked great with this necklace...so voila!

Tools and Materials:

Sewing machine

Fabric of your choice

Thread

Sewing scissors

Chalk

Yardstick

Look Turner (or safety pin)

1-inch wooden beads

How To:

1. Use a thin piece of fabric (preferably silk or rayon).

2. Cut fabric so that the length is 55 inches and the width is 5 inches. (If your fabric isn't long enough, piece together two swatches to make the right length.)

3. Sew the sides of the fabric together to form a tube. Leave ends open.

4. Take a loop turner and turn tube inside out. (Or using a safety pin, to turn fabric inside out).

5. Take a 1-inch wooden bead and slide the bead to the center of the tube.

6. Hold the bead tightly to mark the center. Tie a tight knot on each side of center bead. Repeat process until you have about 8 beads inside fabric.

7. Sew ends closed on sewing machine.

8. Leave enough fabric on the ends to tie it around your neck (about 11 to 12 inches total).

Mustard Mondays

My uniform for Monday is "Mustard." Yes, we labeled all the days with the first letter of the day of the week, so next would be "Teal" Tuesdays, and so forth. We're silly like that I guess.

Well, since tomorrow is Mustard Monday, I found this necklace that was given to me, but was too boring for me to really wear. I got this brilliant idea to transform the circle into something a little more festive. I decided to turn it into a mustard color flower using my "Flower Pom Pom Tutorial."

I love the flowers because they can be used practically on anything such as: jewelry, clothing, purses, etc.

This was my boring necklace.

Cut out a felt piece the same size of the circle and glue it with glue gun.

Cut out around 15-20 circles of the same size.

Scrunch up each piece.

 Once you cut out the circles, hold it between all your fingers to scrunch it up in the center. Use your glue gun to put put some glue on the tip (bottom) and then glue one onto the center. Once you glue the middle one you will do the same all the way around that center one until you fill the entire felt.

Start with one in the middle and work your way around it.

This is it now!

I love it, what do you think?
