How To Make A Tee Shirt Necklace

This is a fun project.
You know that well worn old tee shirt that you can’t wear anyplace but at home. The tee shirt you love so much and has been worn forever.Well now you can wear it everywhere!

What You Need
Soft cotton T-shirt
Ruler
Scissors or rotary cutter
Ribbon (optional)

Let’s Make It!

Lay the shirt on a flat surface; cut off the hem and discard. Then cut the body of the shirt horizontally into strips approximately 3/4 of an inch long. (They will actually be loops.)

One at a time, pull the loops open and stretch until the fabric starts to curl. Stack the loops on top of one another so that all the T-shirt side seams are in the same spot.

Once you have the thickness you desire, wrap the seams with a scrap piece of fabric (from the tee shirt) or ribbon (about 6 inches long) . Tuck the end of the scrap under itself and taa daa!

    I love DIY projects! I used to cut them out of Seventeen Magazine in high school all the time. Lol. Of course, I never did the projects, but I always wanted to. The T-shirt necklace is adorable. Thanks for following my blog. I'll follow you, too! 😀

    I am amazed at the ideas and talent people have.

    My neck is short – it would probably fill it up, but on a long neck – gorgeous.
