Tshirt Statement Necklace

Never throw away those old tshirts! We have so many great ideas to make them new again. Almost everyone has some plastic craft beads laying around, so why not make a statement necklace? Who wants to pay over $100 for a statement piece like this one when you can make one for a couple bucks? Not me! 

 Supplies you will need: Old tshirt, Scissors, Craft beads 

Step 1: Cut the tshirt into about 9 strips, a half an inch thick.


 Step 2: Start to thread the beads onto the first strip, tying knots in between the beads to hold them in place. Make the number of beads and the spacing random. 


 Step 3: Continue to thread the beads onto the other strips.


 Step 4: Once you thread all of the beads onto the strips take two strips without beads and use them to tie the strips together on each side. These two strips will act as a way to tie the necklace together when wearing it. 


 Step 5: Trim the loose ends of the strips.


 This is what the necklace will look like when it's finished. Pair it with a plain white shirt to spice it up and add some color!
