Gather all your extra t-shirt sleeves.
Slice them up into strips, open them up into loops and give them a gentle tug to stretch them out.
Gather the stretched-out loops into your hand, distributing the colors more or less evenly and positioning the armpit seams in one point. Take a non-stretched-out strip of t-shirt and wrap it around the loops, covering the seams. When you get to the end of the t-shirt strip, tuck it under itself so that it doesn't stick out.
And you're done! Wear it with the wrapped strip hidden in the back or off to the side to add a little added bit of color. For more refashioning and upcycling tutorials, take a look at my blog, Cucicucicoo! (or more details on this particular project here)

Was it hard to pull it over your head or is it pretty stretchy? I have a bunch of these hanging about too...excellent idea!
Really great scrap busting project! Also very kid friendly for mom's with young kids, while adding a bit of color near the face :) Great job!

Very nice - now I won´t throw them into the bin anymore! Thank you for sharing !
Supercute!I think it will be the project with which i'll use for the first time my beloved rotary cutter <3
Thanks everyone!
@Julie: It depends on how you cut it. If you cut thinner strips, say 1 cm wide, they stretch more. This particular one is less stretchy than another one I made before because I cut the strips thicker. But if it's tight fitting over the head, just give the loops a little tug to stretch them a little and it'll fit over. (unless, of course, you have a massive noggin!)
