Kid’s T-Shirt Scarf Inspired By American Girl’s Z Yang

Kid's T-Shirt Scarf Inspired by American GirlWhen I told Quincy this week about American Girl’s new Contemporary Character, Z Yang, she immediately started asking me if we could do a craft. I was thinking about what we’d do, and when I saw Z’s accessories at American Girl when I picked her up on April 28, I quickly came up with a plan! Z has the most adorable jersey scarf and I instantly knew we could make a kid’s t-shirt scarf to match! It’s the perfect Z Yang craft!

I had looked at all of Z’s accessories before going into the store and let me tell you, seeing them in person and NOT buying all the things took great restraint. Quincy had asked me for Z’s desk, and her scooter? So cute! I’m definitely going back to get Quincy a shirt just like Z! Probably her desk too!

After going a little overboard at American Girl buying Z and some of her accessories, I headed to Target to pick up what I needed to make a kid’s t-shirt scarf. I hit the jackpot! I found a girls pink striped t that nearly matched the colors of  Z’s jersey scarf! Perfection!Dressing Z Yang

Tonight, after introducing Quincy to Z, we set to work.

Making a Kid’s T-Shirt Scarf is EASY!

1.) Lay a cotton shirt out smooth on a cutting mat.

2.) Using a straight edge and a rotary cutter, have an adult cut the top of the shirt off, right below the armholes.

4.) Smooth out the shirt again and find the half way point of your cut shirt. Then cut it in half.

5.) Take the two loops and tie them into a square knot.Tie shirt loops in square knot

6.) Fold the two piece together into a loop and have your child put on the t-shirt scarf.

    What a super cute idea. Something the kids can do so they can match their American Girl dolls without a huge pricetag.
