While I have mixed feelings about method products themselves (love the aesthetic, love the premise), while jumping on their blog I found this great do-it-yourself bit on eco-friendly, hipster scarves. A stringy wonder bunched at the neck, these scarves make for a great accessory and are beyond easy to create. A little spaghetti like and a little unconventional, but plenty original. The steps below.

 

1.    grab some cotton t-shirts you don’t wear anymore.  larger sizes tend to work better as do non-ribbed shirts with no side seams. small logos on the shirts work fine, too.
2.    grab a pair of fabric scissors if
you have them, otherwise any scissors will do.
3.    lay the shirt out on a flat table in front of you.
4.    cut the hem off the bottom and put it aside.
5.    cut the shirt into 1-1 1/2 ”  horizontal strips all the way up to the armpit.
6.    grab 3-4 shirt strips in bot
h hands, and gently stretch them out. the strips will naturally curl into themselves.
7.    once you have done this with many of the strips, it is time to get creative.  try draping them, wrapping one end with excess fabric, combining colors, braiding th
em, attaching beads, pins, old jewelry, etc.
