What Does Bleach, Pinterest and Scissors Have In Common?

We've all done it haven't we? 

A couple of leftover drops of chlorine bleach 

is mistakenly left on the edge of the washing machine.

A t-shirt happens to touch the bleach as it goes into 

the washer and you get instant spots! 

I hear you saying "I only use color safe bleach" 

but sometimes you just have the old fashioned 

Good/Evil Chlorine Bleach on hand when 

laundry day rolls around.  

Don't throw that t-shirt away 

or make rags out of it. 

(okay I have to admit I did wear it for a 

couple months around the house)

But then I saw this cute craft idea on 

none other than Pinterest... 

you know, that time-sucking site that gives 

you all kinds of ideas to save for later 

that you don't have time to use.  

So here's one of the ideas I saved on 

Pinterest. 

1. Spread your t-shirt out nicely on a table 

or an ironing board. Cut straight across 

under the sleeve area.

2. Use your scissors to cut fringe. Make 

the fringe how ever long you want. 

Mine was about 4" long with each 

piece of fringe about 1/2" wide. 

3. Pull each piece of fringe so that 

it kind of curls into itself. 

At this point you could add beads 

here and there on the pieces of fringe 

and tie a knot to keep them from 

escaping. 

 

Voila! 

You have a really interesting 

fringed scarf to drape around 

a t-shirt. 

AND you can say you actually used one 

of those saved ideas from Pinterest! 

 

Hope you liked this up-cycle.

How has bleach touched your life? 

Have a grand week friends!
