T-shirt Necklace Tutorial.

T-shirt necklaces have been our list for some time. 

This is a five-minute craft. All you have to do is grab some old t-shirts, a rotary cutter, and a cutting mat. According to fabric whiz Cynthia Treen, if you want the fabric to roll, you'll want to use a single-knit t-shirt rather than double-knit.

I can't tell you the difference between single and double-knit until she texts me back. I just know, for now, that most, but not all t-shirts will work. Start by slicing the shirts (across) in one inch strips.

Make a bunch. Stretch the loops and they will curl up into 1/4" strips.

Loop them, braid them, add charms, knots, whatever you like. It's incredibly flexible and always looks amazing.

 

They even have man potential. Just be sure you call it a "scarf" not a necklace.

Thanks to T. and T. for the idea.

Do I have to use a rotary cutter? Will it not work with a scissor? I want to try it with a tie dye shirt. Will send pics of results.
