Upcycle T-shirt Knit Bracelet

I have been gun ho over pinterest.com and I ran across V and Co. knit bracelet. This chain is made with knit fabric, scissors and your fingers. WOW! So simple. I had to try it. I didn't go out and buy knit but grabbed some old t-shirts. The tutorial used new fabric but this is great way to upcycle! And with St. Patrick's Day around the corner, this is a great way to get a spot of green.

 This is all you need!

Cut the hem off the shirt and cut 1inch strips. The number of strips with vary depending on the size you choose.

Sorry blurry, I cut off the side seam too.

Cut small slit on both ends of your strips.
This is to tie the strips together.

This is not my idea and the full tutorial can be found at:

But I made a 4 finger chain bracelet, 3 finger chain bracelet, and a 2 finger chain bracelet.

 Mia pop out so I had her quickly model for me.

Tips:

7 inch to 8 inch in length worked well. Depending on how you want it to hang on your wrist. Mia is wearing a 6 inch.

Knit stretches so as you are making the chain make sure to stretch the finish bracelet out as you are linking the fabric. This helped a tighter look which was a lot pretty then my first fluffy green knotted mess.

NOW If you want some pictures of how to create the chain let me know and Ill add to it.

I just wanna make sure to give credit to where credit is due :)

Finished product!

The bracelet on the left is a 2 finger chain. This was 6 inches long. The bracelet on the right was the first attempt, 2 finger chain and 7 inches in length. The first bracelet is 3 finger chain, 8 inches in length. It dangles a little bit. The second bracelet had 1.5 inch strips and it is a four finger chain. This is 7 inches in length. TOO CUTE!!
