It’s officially the perfect weather for a scarf! Obviously, this means we’re embracing the season in full force with this DIY No Sew Infinity Scarf.

Even by Texas standards, infinity scarves are welcomed with open arms instead of the judgmental stares from people that don’t share my fall weather love affair year-round.

And I really do those chunky knit statement wear!

So I thought I’d share my no-sew infinity scarf tutorial that I made for this Buzzfeed craft wars post.

Materials and Tools Needed To Make DIY No-Sew Infinity Scarf

T-shirt — The larger the shirt, the bigger the scarf!

Foam pouncer

All-surface metallic gold paint

Tape

Scissors or rotary cutter

How to Make a DIY No-Sew Infinity Scarf

Lay your t-shirt flat, taping down the edges.

Cut a line straight across just above the bottom hem and just below the sleeves or the armpit.

This will form the actual scarf so try and make the cut edges as smooth as possible. A rotary cutter will give you the best result but it isn’t necessary.

Dip your pouncer in the paint color of your choice and start dotting.

Stamp your first row spaced however you’d like, then make the next row alternated from the first mimicking the spacing of the top row.

Repeat this until one whole side of the DIY No-Sew Polka Dot Infinity Scarf is patterned. You’ll let this dry, and then repeat on the opposite side as well. 

Now let your freshly stamped scarf dry completely. 

How to Clean the DIY Scarf

As long as you made sure to use a fabric dedicated paint, you can easily wash your scarf on the delicate setting in the washer and dryer as usual. 

Since the fabric is traditional t-shirt cotton, you can also dry on low heat as well.

But I’d recommend laying it flat to air dry.

  18. I love polka dots so I just have to try this! Just a question though. I assume you hem the raw edges and this fold them inside??

  19. So cute! I was planning on making an infinity scarf this weekend, so perfect timing. I love your outfit at the end. The simple black and gold pallet looks very classy.

  20. I saw this on pinterest and thought, dang I’m gonna have to DIY that. Made my day to follow the link and find out already is! LOVE it girl. Did you use the Martha Steward paint? that color is perfection and I want the same one ;)

  21. Definitely going to try this soon! It’s still ‘summer’ here in Australia but right now I’m sitting on the lounge with a blanket wrapped around me because it’s so cold today!! I love the custom potential of this idea so thank you for the tutorial :)

  22. I tried this & it came out super cute! The only thing I would change is to place a towel or something between both layers because my paint bled onto the other side or be sure to buy a t-shirt that is made of thicker material. I’m going to try it again, now that I know!

  23. I was wondering if you diluted your paint at all? I’m using the Martha Stewart Metallic Gold but it seems so thick and is taking a lot to make the dots look full. Just wondering :)

    1. I left my paint as is. If you gently twist the pouncer in a back-and-forth circular motion, it will blend the paint without having to use too much. Hope this helps!

  24. So cute! Do the edges come out a little jagged? If so, does it look ok when worn or can you see the jagged cut?

    Thanks!

    1. They do come out a little jagged if you don’t use a rotary cutter, but the cotton rolls the edges inward so you don’t notice either way :)

  25. What was the brand of t-shirt that you used? I do not own any t-shirts that I can do this to. Where can I buy this type of t-shirt? I don’t know where to find them for not too much money

      1. Hi Ashley,
        I’m a little late to the party when I stumbled across this project (via the sweetest occasion) but can you please tell me the size of t-shirt you used? I know you mention the larger the scarf with a larger t-shirt but I was just wondering if you used a large or XL? I’d like to try this but I’d like to make large enough it so I can wrap it around 2 times but have it still be a little loose. Thanks!

  26. I love how easy and beautiful this is! Think about all the different themed scarves you could make: hearts for Valentine’s Day; Shamrocks for St. Patrick’s Day; etc. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

  27. This looks fabulous. I love that it is a no sew project. Although, one of these days I’m going to get myself a sewing machine.

    What paint did you use? I love the metallic in it.

    1. Saw this over on Brit & Co and thought it was made from a tie. I like that it’s a t-shirt refashion much better. I have so many t-shirt scraps leftover from t-shirt refashions that this tute will come in handy.
