i found this project about a year back and have been making these funky, t-shirt necklaces ever since. i love pashminas and scarves, but they're a little heavy for summer. these necklaces work great all-year round' and you're guaranteed compliments when you wear one. they are the perfect casual accessory and add a bit of pizazz to a simple t-shirt & jeans kinda outfit. plus, they're simple to make...and they're "green". simply fabulous, if you ask me.
supplies:
t-shirt (preferably one you already own, so you can "recycle" it)
scissors
needle & thread
total time: 15 min
 |
| cut t-shirt into strips |
 |
| stretch the cut loops, reserving the hem of the t-shirt for later |
 |
| stretched loops (and hem to the left of the picture) |
 |
| gather loops |
 |
| bring opposite sides together |
 |
| tie one end with hem |
 |
| allow for a 5-6" gap and tie other end with hem |
 |
| wrap extra hem fabric back around itself |
 |
| once you reach the end of the hem fabric, stitch it in place to keep it from unraveling |
 |
| voila! lovely t-shirt necklace : ) |
 |
| wear with a smile |
