I got this great (although I’m sure faux) leather backpack today at the thrift store. It’s in great condition, the silica gel pack was still in place and everything. It cost me a whopping 2.48, which is quite the splurge for me. What can I say, I’m in love c;

100 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt: (12) This comfy jersey-knit knotted headband is easy to make. All you need is a strip of your softest t-shirt that you don’t mind parting with about 8 inches long and 3-4 inches wide, and either an old elastic headband that you can cut up, or some elastic string which can be found at Walmart.
All you have to do it tie a very loose knot about an inch off center in your fabric strip. Then simply tie tight knots around the elastic. Tie your knots higher up to reach desired tightness.

Thrifty Thursdays: I cannot get over how much I adore this anonymous school mascot T I got at my local thrift store the other day for a mere dollar. It was originally just a regular T, but my modifications updated it a bit and made it all the more comfortable.

Inspired by a Forever 21 scarf I bought a couple years ago, this shaggy scarf is a fall must-make. It’s so easy, all you have to do is know how to safely operate a pair of scissors.
Materials:
Step One: I started by ombre-ing my t-shirt. Cut the top half off, starting at the sleeves. Then fold as shown below.
Step Two: Cut vertical strips starting at the side with the edges, but leave a couple inches at the top.
Step Three: Do this all the way across so you have a tube of strips. Stretch the strips out so they make tubes and unhem or trim any strips if needed. (You could also unhem/trim before cutting the strips; whichever you find easier)
Your scarf is ready! I love the way the ombre gives the scarf two distinct tones- it looks so cloudy and dreamy!

This drawstring backpack is adorable if I do say so myself. This is a very easy project and it shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes. Does require minimum sewing.

This one-step, no-sew, SUPER simple infinity scarf is so easy I can’t even convey in an analogy just how easy it is.
Just cut off the top starting at the sleeves, then cut off the bottom hem! Make sure you have an XL or larger shirt with no sideseams, and find the softest shirt possible. I got my shirt at the thrift store, but it was originally from Walmart, an Op pocket v-neck, sized XL. The larger the shirt, the bigger around it will be. Mine wraps comfortably but snugly around my neck twice, but if you prefer a scarf that hangs down on your chest, go with a 3XL if possible.
My scarf is super comfy and I cannot wait for the fall to wear it. Of course, it’s light, so depending on where you live, this could be a must-make summer accessory.
