You may know that scarves are the hot accessory trend right now! And anyone who knows me, knows I’m a huge scarf lover! I must own at least 20 scarves and I wear them with almost everything.
So when I saw Kim and Kris of DIY Dish do a no sew T-Shirt Scarf Tutorial I just couldn’t get it out of my mind!
How cute is THAT?! Can you believe I made that scarf from a t-shirt…..and the best part, no sewing required!!
How to Make a No Sew T-Shirt Scarf Tutorial
I bet it took me all of 15 mins to make a scarf from a t-shirt. I used a t-shirt my husband had, but only wore once or twice.
Supplies Needed:
- 1 XL or XXL t-shirt
- 9″ paper plate
- Scissors
- decorative pin/flower (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- lay t-shirt out flat (make sure you can get 8-12 circles)
- Use paper plate to trace 8-12 circles on t-shirt (4-6 on each side of the shirt)
- cut out circles
- cut each fabric circle into a spiral (*see how to do this in the video)
- stretch each piece of fabric and lay all pieces together
- tie around your neck and place a pretty rosette flower pin to dress it up!
Click here to watch Kim’s video tutorial to see more detail how to make this scarf and 2 others. *Kim suggests gluing 2 pieces together, I did not do that, so my scarf is just a little shorter than her t-shirt scarf.
I love how light-weight this scarf is, I can wear it with a sweater or a t-shirt. So fashionable! these scarves are perfect for dressing up an outfit for any season!
I can’t wait to make more! I’d love to hear if you give this a try!

I love love LOVE this scarf! I went and checked out the diy dish, and I love the other two she makes as well. I think i may owe my husband some new shirts when i am done haha!
This is so clever and great for Spring. I am going to look for a t-shirt right away and make one of my own. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m trying to figure the directions out, so each circle is a couple of inches thick? They aren’t actually together so there is like 6 different pieces of fabric around you? Right? I just wanted to make sure, it looks really fun!
yes that right!!……..if you watch the video it makes more sense
How adorable, and what a great use for old tee shirts that are still in good condition but that you’ve gotten tired of wearing. I’m a scarf fanatic too, maybe because I’m cold all the time, but my family always jokes that no matter what time of year it is you can usually find me with a scarf around my neck!
Me too Sylvie, and I never realized how warm they do keep you, until I’m out shopping and start sweating in the stores lol…….then I have to take it off.
You are the cutest and I want to make one now!! How fun!
How cute ‘n sweet ‘n simple!! And it matches your blog, too! Love that!! =-D
I didn’t realize that until I was editing the pictures the other day! lol

I ? this idea!!!!!
I started making one yesterday after seeing it on another blog (not DIYDish). But I haven’t gotten to the flower part. I made a black one, but now seeing your orange one, I am so jealous! I’m glad a got a sale on tee shirts at AC Moore on Saturday… Thanks Cheryl. I love this blog so much. Keep up the good work.
I really REALLY love this idea!!! I love it so much I am going to try to run out and get some fun colored t-shirts today–so that my friend and I can each make a scarf tonight as we’re watching The Bachelor. Doesn’t that sound FUN? 🙂
Also–I just really LIKE the look of your blog! Every time I hop over here, it makes me want to change my blog design to a white background, with cheery colors, like your aqua blue and orange-red. The look of your blog is just CHEERFUL. LOVE.
This is adorable! I love the bright color – it’s definitely a welcome to Spring! I’m totally gonna try this soon, thanks for sharing & inspiring : )
Thanks so much for this. I just love it! Picked up a couple of gray Men’s Tshirts from the Salavation Army today and they are in the washing machine as we speak. I’ll be making one tonight! Thanks!
fabulous idea …. you got me at the “no sewing” required bit! M
So cute, I am not a huge fan of scarves, but I think you may have won me over with this one. It is th perfect mix if whimsy and chic. Thanks for showing us how to make it.
