Looking for a fun and easy craft? Try making a t-shirt bracelet.<\/p>\n

This t-shirt bracelet is made from new or old t-shirts cut into strips and braided with a colored cord. A fun, easy, upcycle craft.<\/p>\n

\"t-shirt<\/a><\/p>\n

I found this bracelet one day when I was searching Pinterest for bracelets. \u00a0I loved the idea of using an old t-shirt and creating something that was fun and fashionable.<\/p>\n

There are LOTS of t-shirt bracelet tutorials on the web, all with fun variations and themes.<\/p>\n

I chose this one because I loved the cord braided in and the magnets seemed like a great idea. \u00a0My plan was to make the bracelets with a group of friends.<\/p>\n

I headed to Michael’s to find the supplies I needed. \u00a0Here is what I bought:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"t-shirt<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Yes, I had to buy new scissors. \u00a0I deemed the old ones I have at home incapable of cutting fabric with any sort of precision! (basicbluesnation.com<\/a>) <\/p>\n

DIY T-Shirt Bracelet<\/h2>\n

To make your t-shirt bracelet:<\/h3>\n

Cut t-shirt into 1-inch strips about 15 inches in length (you will need 3 pieces).<\/p>\n

Cut the cord into pieces 15 inches long (you will need 3)<\/p>\n

You will also need: \u00a0a hot glue gun, 2 elastics or 2 pieces of string, magnets<\/p>\n

Step #1<\/strong> – attach the pieces of cord and t-shirt strips together with an elastic or tie a piece of string.<\/p>\n

Step #2<\/strong> – clip end to a\u00a0book, or have a friend hold it<\/p>\n

Step #3<\/strong> – braid, making sure that the cord is on top and not hidden by the material<\/p>\n

Step #4<\/strong> – tie string or elastic around the end and cut excess cord and t-shirt material off<\/p>\n

\"t-shirt<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Step #5<\/strong> – hot glue gun the ends to a magnet – remove elastics or string once cooled.<\/p>\n

Step #6<\/strong> – cut a strip of t-shirt material and wrap it around the magnets to form a type of “sleeve” to cover the magnets<\/p>\n

Step #7<\/strong> – marvel at how easy this was!<\/p>\n

\"t-shirt<\/a><\/p>\n

Head to your closet and grab some t-shirts you aren’t wearing to turn them into fun bracelets.<\/p>\n

A great camp activity for tweens and teens.<\/p>\n
