Basic Tutorial: take tshirt. cut straight line across it under neck and arm holes, so that the top is taken off and you are left with a rectangle. then cut rectangular piece into strips...stretch strips out so they roll up into themselves...fashion into a necklace. thats it!
1)if your tshirt is the same color inside and out, then you can cut your strips any way you like: up-and-down or across.
2) if its not the same color inside, then you need to cut WITH the grain (usually up-and-down)...
3) its best to choose a shirt without side seams...these dont roll so well...
4) it might be a good idea to stop at goodwill and grab a shirt that is XL or larger...i used a Large, and the necklace is of average length...if you want to layer it several times, a larger shirt will work better.
hope this helps! let me know if you make one! happy tuesday!
Lovely!
