Woven T-shirt Bracelets

Time for another t-shirt craft. As previously mentioned, I am waging a constant battle against my boyfriend's excessive t-shirt collection. This craft (along with my t-shirt scarf... see October post) is definitely a legitimate recycled t-shirt option.

Woven Bracelets

Cost: $0

Rating: Pretty Good

Comments: This is reminiscent of some sort of weaving from elementary school. Find the tutorial here. The instructions are excellent and very easy to follow. The instructions call for jersey fabric, but an old t-shirt cut into strips worked just fine. I would definitely recommend the two-finger version unless you want a really chunky bracelet; they are much thicker than I expected. I also would try this with a stretchier t-shirt; it is difficult to keep the weave tight and not break your fingers if the material doesn't have any give. This is not my favorite look when it comes to bracelets, but they are fun, quick and easy.
