T-Shirt Bracelets

For this project you will need some old t-shirts and a bunch of bangle bracelets. Try using old bangles that you already own, check thrift stores or pick up some up for a few dollars at Target, Walmart – or even the sale bins at Old Navy. Cut t-shirt in 1/2" to 1" wide strips. Depending on the thickness of the bangle – a thick bracelet will need thicker strips. Loosely tie one end of the t-shirt strip to the bangle and start wrapping fabric around bracelet – the tighter the better. Wrap fabric all the way around until you meet the first knot – untie the knot and tie both ends together to close.

These flowers are super easy to make and can be used in a multitude of projects! Start with strips of recycled fabric, canvas, paper, ribbon- you can use just about anything. I started with some scraps of painted fabric that would have otherwise been thrown away! Tie a knot at the end of the strip and begin twisting and rolling the strip around the knot, dabbing glue as you roll. You can use fabric glue, regular tacky glue, hot glue or even use a stitches instead of glue.

Continue rolling and twisting your strip until you reach the end and secure with glue to the back of the flower. Braided Headband Tutorial. It's chilly outside here today and I'm loving it!
