Miriam Schulman Watercolor Portraits and Fine Art Commissions DIY - Jersey Spaghetti Necklace Scarf - Retro Chick — Retro Chick Last week I wrote about the fabulous Kapow Wow Objects, and in particular my favourite piece the black spaghetti necklace. Sadly the chances of me having £120 to spend on a scarf are pretty small right now, so I decided to have a go at making one myself. At a Boot Fair this morning I spent the grand total of £2 on 4 black T Shirts (in the end I only used 3, so I could have saved myself 50p) I trawled trough the junk drawers in my house (and there are many) and found a selection of old key-rings to use as fastenings and I put down a sheet so I didn’t cover the floor in black fluff. Laying each T Shirt flat I cut along the bottom of each making jersey loops, which I then snipped into long strips. I cut in varying widths to give a more textured feel to the final scarf. Once I’d finished cutting across the body of all 3 T shirts I was left with a bundle of jersey strips and a white sheet covered in black fluff (if you want to try this I REALLY recommend covering the floor) Et voila.

michelle giacobello Ombre dyed, polka dot t-shirt How much fun is this for spring? I bought some new spray dyes for fabric. They are called Tumble Dyes and they come in a wide range of colours. They are really easy to apply - just spray straight from the bottle. My mind is spinning with possibilities for these, but to start with I tried this simple t-shirt. Here's what to do: Fold a piece of paper into four and draw some circles (or whatever shape you fancy). Cut out the circles and place them on your t-shirt. After blowing some of my circles away while spraying the dye, I decided to weigh them down using metal washers. Hold the bottle 10-15cm from the fabric and spray away. Once the spray has dried, remove the circles and iron the fabric (or place in a warm dryer) to heat-set the dye. Make your t-shirt. Told you it was simple! Have you Tumble dyed anything lately?
