Today I will teach you three novel and unique T-shirt transformation methods!

Old T-shirts transformed into scarves

Step 2: Cut the lower part of the fabric into thin fringed strips, about 20cm in length.
Step 3: Stretch each tassel downward.

Old T-shirts transformed into bags
Similarly, you can transform an old T-shirt into a backpack by just tying it into a knot. You do not believe? Please keep your eyes open! Let’s see the breakdown below.
Step 1: Cut off the collar and sleeves of the T-shirt. The size of the neckline determines the size of the bag opening.
Step 2: Turn the vest inside out and cut the lower half into a tassel shape.
Step 3: First, tie the two tassels at the front and back. You will notice that every other knot has a small hole, the next step is to seal these holes.
Step 4: Tassel No. 1 and Tassel No. 2 again Tie a knot, and so on, until it is all finished.
The last step is to flip the backpack back to the front and it will become a cute backpack. You can pack fruits and vegetables to contribute to environmental protection. It can also be used as a grocery bag at home.
Disposal of remaining fabrics
The above two transformations will definitely produce some extra scraps, so what should we do with these scraps? ? The following method can not only reuse scraps but also solve the problem of hair bundles when washing your face.
First, cut the scraps into strips (Two strips). And pull it up to extend.
1. Create a loop with one of the strips. Keep the loop at the top.
2. Place the second strip under the top of the first strip to form a U shape. Place both ends of it on top.
3. Place the right side of the top piece under the right side of the bottom piece.
4. Place the left side of the top piece under the loop of the bottom piece.
5. Place the right side of the top piece over the loop of the bottom piece, passing under the left side of the top piece and over the other side of the loop.
6. Gently and slowly pull each end until a neat knot is formed and there is loose fabric on each side of the knot strip.
7. Wrap the strip around the person’s head to mark the location of the cut ends. Or measure the circumference of a person’s head and cut the ends to that length. Cut a small piece of T-shirt and place the ends of the headband on top.
8. Apply some hot glue to the top of the headband ends.
9. Place the small piece of T-shirt tightly against the glued end of the headband. Be careful when rolling the fabric to avoid burning your fingers.
