T-Shirt Bracelets

     The tools you will need are: Scissors, T-Shirt (old or new), Ribbons, Stretchy Fabric, or Beads your choice & you must know how to braid. First, take a new or old T-Shirt & cut the seam. Then cut the bottom in medium strips cutting all the way up to the underarm of the shirt. Cut one end of the medium strips you have made. Gather a handful at a time & begin pulling & stretching them out but not too thin. They will become thinner after this technique. If you have stretchy fabric you would like to add cut it into medium strips as well. Pull & stretch them out also. Now begin braiding them together. Continue braiding until it is able to fit around the wrist. Pull both ends together making a knot . Finally, after knotting leave at least 2 inches of T-Shirt string. Cut off the excess then you are done. Note: For beads, after braiding slide the beads of your choice on. Using beads that can successfully fit. Then knot off both sides where the beads end or knot in between each bead. Size it to fit. Then pull ends together to fit the wrist & knot it. Leave 2 inches of T-shirt strips. Cut off excess then you are done.
