All you need is an unwanted cotton t-shirt, and a pair of sharp scissors.
Lay the shirt on a flat surface and smooth it out with your hands.
Start by cutting off and discarding the hem.
Vary the width of your strips based on your desired necklace thickness.
I wanted a lot of tubes, so I kept my strips small.
Stretch out the loops you just made so the cotton curls in on itself and forms long tubes.
Double up each tube, matching up the seams at one end.
Group all of your tubes by size, keeping the seams together at one end.
I used a womens tee, so the tapered fit resulted in a great variation of tube sizes.
Cut the tube you saved in half to make it a long string.
Tie the string in a knot near one end of the section of seams.
Tightly wrap the string around all of the seams to cover them.
Be careful not to get the tubes twisted or tangled as youre wrapping.
