He Loves Me, He Loves Me Knot

It's another week of T-shirt transformations!

Yesterday, I showed you how to make "yarn" out

of on old T-shirt. Simply cut the shirt into uniform strips.

With this "yarn", I'm going to make another necklace.

Here's how:

Gather five long strands, find the middle and secure with

a safety pin. Attach the pin with a binder clip and use

this to hang on a hook or nail.

Make some knots & repeat to make several rows.

Just take a new, loose strand.

Knot once on one of the hanging strands.

Grab the strand beside it and knot again.

Keep doing this until you've finished a row.

The knots should look like they are

hugging the strands.

Once you've finished a row, end with a double knot.

Trim ends but leave a half-inch tail.

Hide the tails at the back by twisting, tucking

and hand-stitching in place.

Take a new, loose strand and repeat process.

I made 10 rows, you can make more or less.

TADA!

How do you like my handcrafted necklace?

Knot the dangling ends for a clean look.

This is meant to be worn like a medal

{so make sure there's enough room to

fit it over your head}, but you can

use a necklace closure that you can

buy at a craft store.

TADA!

I think I want to make more in other colors!
