Anthropologie T-shirt Refashion (#4)

Today I have another great T-shirt refashion! I looked at the Anthropologie site and I noticed that a lot of their shirts have flowers around the necks. Here are a few examples:

I love the flower look but not the price tag! So I set out to make mine own!

Here is what I used:

Two t-shirts from my Goodwill pile

A scissors

Needle and thread

Here is how you can make one:

1.) Cut 2 inch strips to make the flowers. (I used ten flowers on my shirt. so I cut out ten strips) I used my brown shirt, so it was jersey material, but you can use any scrap material you have.

2.) Tie a knot at the end of your strip

3. Wrap the "tail" around the knot and continue to wrap the strip around the knot.

4. Continue wrapping, every so often I would twist my fabric to give it a dimension.

5. Once you are all the way around fold the end to the back.

6. Use a Straight pin to hold it in place

7. Use your needle and thread to hand sew some stitches on the back to keep the flowers shape.

{I rolled all my flowers first and then I sewed them all at once. This is something you can do while watching TV or listening to music.}

8. Once all the flowers are done, play around with how you would like them to be arranged.

Once you decide on an arrangement, hand sew the flowers on.

I am thinking of adding some leaves to these flowers too.

I am linking to these parties!
