My Upcycled Braided T-Shirt Rug tutorial<\/a> is consistently one of the most viewed posts on the blog, but I often get comments or emails asking me to clarify the method for cutting the t-shirt into strips. <\/p>\n

I’ve made a short video that shows you how I do mine which should clarify the process. There are lots of different methods to do this that will still give you usable strips, but I think this is the easiest way and uses as much of the t-shirt as possible. This is how I do mine.<\/p>\n

\nYou can also use this same technique to make t-shirt yarn for knitting and crochet, just look for t-shirts without side seams and cut the strips about 1″ wide.
\nGive this a go with plastic bags to make ‘plarn’.<\/p>\n
