Just in time for football season!!
I found this idea on Pinterest (evil pinterest)
and followed it to a blog which I now cannot find....
It calls for 4 old t-shirts of your chosen color
(I chose orange, black, gray, and white...Go Pokes!)
And since I'm running low on t-shirts as it is I went to Goodwill
and picked up some in the right colors for less than $4 :)
And it only takes about an hour or so to do depending on if you have children that is....
it took me about an hour and a half broken up to get mine done.
So first you cut off each bottom hem and set it aside-you will be using it later...
Then you cut 8 strips about 3/4 or 1 inch wide from each shirt.
You should have 32 by the time your done cutting
(ha imagine that 8x4=32, math does come in handy!)
Here is my pile.
Next, you stretch each strip one good wide stretch,
then wrap it around your hand-like so...
Here's the almost-there look.
Alright you know those hems you cut off and saved? Time to put them to use!
Cut them in about 5 inches pieces,
I ended up having to cut a couple of hems off the sleeves of the shirts to have enough,
so I think it depends on the size of shirt you're using.
Next you'll use those hem pieces to tie it all together!
Simple, yes?
I can't wait to wear mine to football homecoming!
Let me know if my instructions were unclear,
this is the first time I'm writing out instructions :)
