Old T-Shirts into Smashing Necklace!

Check out the necklace I made (see tutorial here).

The fabric for the bead casing and the flowers all comes from 3 old t-shirts of mine. Striped or patterned shirts would make really cute flowers, but I didn't have anything in the right colors that was ready for the shredder (i.e., my scissors).

I love it. Phew. I had some doubts along the way, but I think it turned out awfully styley.


I'm itching to make some more, so be honest with your comments, or you may end up with a necklace that you find terribly tacky. Heehee.

LOVE. IT. First of all, you should open up your own Etsy shop. Second of all, can I buy one from you? This is something that I would DEFINITELY wear.
