Tuxedo Pillows
Here is another t-shirt post that I found.
I hope to make these for my couch with some of my husbands old church shirts.
Craftin' With Kristin!
During Kristin's spring break we got togthere and did some craftin'! The craft that we decided to do was make a spring wreath! It took a loooong time but was so much fun and worth it! We both love how our wreaths turned out!!
T-Shirt Braided Necklace
Love love love this project!!
3 T-shirt strips (about 1″ wide) cut from the bottom hem of a T-shirt
scissors
safety pin
needle
thread
1. Collect or cut three 1″-wide strips from the bottom of a T-shirt. Stretch out the strips to make long cords. Optional: Collect scraps from different T-shirts for a multi-colored look.
2. Tie the ends in an overhand knot about 1 1/2″ to 2″ from the top.
3. Starting at the knot, braid the three strands together until you have an approximately 12″-long braid. Pinch the end of the braid together (or use a safety pin).
4. Then sew a few stitches through the end of the braid, making sure to go through each of the strands at least once. Knot and trim the thread.
5. Drape the ends of your necklace strands and then trim them so that each strand is about 2″ shorter than the next. (These measurements will vary depending on the length of your torso, but start with the measurements 27 1/2″, 25″, and 23″ and you can always trim more.)
6. Line up the ends and gather them together. Loosen the knot at the end of the braid and insert the ends, then tighten to secure them .
7. Try on the necklace, arranging the knot so it sits at the back of your neck. Ta-da!
