Brightly colored t-shirts that are too small for my daughters now, have found new life as 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. Make a double knot, pull it tight and make sure the knot is positioned on the inside of the bracelet. Trim ends with scissors.
I found this technique worked well for us - but you could also use a glue gun to secure ends.
We made a ton of these bracelets this morning - my daughters really enjoyed it.
Olá. Volta e meia leio o blog, mas não comentava porque não havia a opção para isso nos comentários. Agora que me cadastrei no Blogspot, ficou mais fácil.
ResponderExcluirMuito legal essa idéia! Eu fiz três colares de camisetas velhas, usando um tutorial daqui. Ficaram muito bons. Acabei dando dois de presente.
Um dia ainda faço esse! ;)
