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!
