t-shirt necklace

simple & easy upcycling...

1. just take an old 100% cotton tshirt
2. cut off hem & discard
3. continue chopping along the bottom of the tshirt (2-3 cm width/strip)
4. stretch each strip so it curls
5. tie together or braid...

ta-da! you've made a t-shirt necklace which can also be a bracelet...
