Do-It-Yourself

T-shirt Necklace

 Get any t-shirt (larger sizes are better)
100% cotton is preferred

 Cut strips horizontal to T-shirt about 3/4 inch thick
Keep strips in loop form

 Pull strips until the shirt curls
With last strip, cut at one end (this will be the "tie")

 Fold over the curled strips so it's doubled and shorter

T Shirt Braid Necklace

Use up to 9 different fabrics

Braid each necklace to different lengths and sew ends together 

(Yes, I used my boyfriend as my necklace model)
