Skull, Tee-Shirt Scarf, DIY

I had a 10 inch wide  by 48 inch long strip of knit material left over from the bottom the polka dot shirt I did HERE a couple of weeks ago and I have been waiting for just the right project to use  it. Well with Fall nipping at my heels a skull scarf seemed like the perfect remedy for my quandary. 

 All of this was possible thanks to Ilovetocreate.com,

 Tutorial 

Things you need.

1.  Knit material *the bottom of a large shirt works great.  Dimensions:10 inches wide by 48 inches long.
2. Small paint brush
3. Scissors
4. Fabric Tulip Paint HERE
5. Skull Inspiration
6. Tulip sponge HERE

 If your piece is a tube, cut one side open to make one long piece.

 Cut the hem off

I am saving the hem  piece to make something else with it.

 Now on each end cut small slits about 4 inches.

 then stretch them out,

 I used the tulip sponge to make dots all over the scarf.

Then I painted a rectangle on the bottom of each circle, to make the skull shape.

I then used a small brush and with the black tulip paint  I painted two eyes and a mouth.

Let all of that dry about 4 hours.

 Hello new skull scarf.

 I think this would look great on a shirt as well.

I hope you had a fab Monday,

mine was wonderful.

Lots of <3,

Anne
