From Leg Warmers to a Neck Warmer

Several months ago I cleaned out my closet and because of this I had a "give to charity" bag full. A bag full that I soon forgot about. Then last night my husband politely reminded me that I had this bag and that I should take care of it.

I did.

I now have a "give to charity" bag and a "possible crafty goodness" bag. :)

While dividing up the bags I found these old grey fleece pants. I was sad to get rid of them but they have a huge hole in the behind (I snagged them on a nail) so I thought that I could do something crafty with them.

I pulled out the side stretchie strings . . .

and tied them together and burnt the edges so they wouldn't frey . . .

then I cut the pant legs into strips . . .


and then I cut the strips in half and tied them to the string . . .


Viola!!

a cute frilly grey fleece scarf just in time for winter!

And it didn't cost me a thing!
