introRecycled T-shirt Bracelet

This is an extension of my Recycled T-shirt Necklace tutorial.
It is much more in-depth than my first one. There are lots of steps to
show the process, but it is really easy to do once you know. A bracelet
(or necklace) can be made in just a couple of minutes.

What you need:
- The sleeve of a soft, clean cotton t-shirt

- A ruler

-
A cutting tool (the best results come if you use a rotary cutter* with
a self healing mat but you can also use plain old scissors)

*If
you are using a rotary cutter for the first time, be careful! The Purl
Bee has an excellent tutorial for how to properly and safely use a
rotary cutter HERE.

Discard. step 3Cut the Strips From the hem edge, measure up 3/4" and cut straight across sleeve. Continue up the sleeve until you reach the seam. For a thick bracelet, cut up both sleeves. You can also… step 4Examine a strip Here is a single strip of fabric from the sleeve. step 5Pull strips open You'll notice that each strip is a loop of fabric. step 6Stretch the strips out As you stretch each strip out, it will automatically start to furl into itself, as seen in the picture. step 7Here it is stretched Here is one strip stretched out. It won't curl where the seam is, but don't worry about it. step 8Line up the seams Now put all your loops together. I am only using two as an example, but you will probably have more. Make sure the seams line up as shown. step 9Cover the seams Using a scrap piece of the same fabric, loop around the seams to cover them. step 10Tuck the end in Tuck the end of the scrap under the loops. I have mine sticking out a little to show you, but you can cover it completely. step 11Done! Now you can loop it around once or twice to wear as a bracelet.
