How To Make A Tee Shirt Necklace

ByThe Reverend Katherine
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!

“May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He let His grace shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-6:26 NIV

  32. 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.
