DIY Funky Neck Piece
Written by Miranda on May 24, 2009I get cold really easily but seeing that it’s now the end of May, it simply didn’t make sense for me to wear scarves anymore. My solution? Funky Necklace / Scarf made outta shredded fabric
Finished Product:
Materials Needed:
- Cloth (Preferably Cotton)
- Chain
I had a old hoodie that had a hole in it lying about, so I used that as my fabric. I also had a old chain that was missing its clasp lying around, so I used that as well.
First I shredded the hoodie into strips that were approx. 2 cm wide. The length doesn’t really matter.
After that, I tore the chain apart simply by twisting the hoops of the chain. My chain was not the best of quality, so the open sides of each hoop easily twisted and disconnected from the rest of the chain. After that, I use a pair of scissors to squeeze the open side shut again. I made chains of various lengths (some with 6 hoops, some with 3 etc).
Next, loop the fabric into the hoop.
Then I knot it. Insert fabric through the hoop, knot, insert, knot, insert, knot until I ran out of chains. Then I knot the ends. The final product is a very very long hoop made of chain and fabric.
To wear it, I simply loop it around my neck multiple times. The result is a funky multi-layer neck piece that keeps my neck warm.
