Make Compai’s Easy Necklace-Scarf From an Old T-Shirt (DIY Tutorial)

Think of Justina and Faith Blakeney as the Serena and Venus Williams of T-shirt surgery. The sisters are not only the founders of Compai Design Studio, a Los Angeles-based creative consultancy, but they’re also the authors of several do-it-yourself primers, including 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Trim, and Tie Your T-Shirt into Something Special. Here, the sisters Blakeney demonstrate how easy it is to make your own necklace-scarf hybrid from a T-shirt that’s lost its luster. The no-sew method takes a mere four steps—and the fourth step is completely optional.

MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

  • One or more T-shirts
  • Scissors
  • Beads, ribbon, pins (optional)

STEP ONE

Cut hem off shirt.

STEP TWO

Cut into strips. Each strip will create a ring. Depending on desired size of necklace, you can use more than one t-shirt

STEP THREE

Gather the rings of fabric and tie with leftover shirt fabric.

STEP FOUR

If you want, add ribbons, beads, and any fun pops of color.
