This is a great DIY Scarf and perfect for gift giving too! You can make a fleece scarf with your own clothing or with items that you pick up at yard sales or Goodwill. A nice way to upcycle and provide a second life to a piece of clothing.
Start with a yard of fleece about a foot wide.
Folding the fleece in half cut from the outer edge towards the center about every inch or so about 4 inches in.
Next cut up old sweaters and old pajamas into strips.
Tie the strips between each cut on the fleece, double knotting it.
Now you have a new scarf and don’t have to let go of your old but favorite sweater! This is a great gift idea too! Instead of throwing out old but “loved” sweaters and pajamas you can turn them into a scarf and share them with loved ones!
