Designs: T-shirt Necklace Scarf

Recently I sold this necklace/scarf on Etsy. I made it from a 100% cotton T-shirt and a vintage button. This one is a little different from the T-shirt scarfs I've made in the past because of the way I tied the fringe and the bold red. I feel like it's more edgy then previous designs.



This is the necklace/scarf I made last year, and it also sold. In fact every one I've ever made has sold. I think it's because the way I make these is a little different from others I've seen on Etsy. I will certainly make more in the future.
This is my gorgeous customer Meg. She bought this scarf for her brothers girlfriend. (If your reading this) Hi Meg, it was an absolute pleasure doing business with you! 
The other day I saw these photos on Google image. I thought it was a really cool idea to incorporate large beads, to give that boho feel.  

So what do you think of T-shirt necklace/scarves? What kind are your favorite, and how would/do you wear them? Leave a comment telling me. Have a great day!-Zoe Pease

DIY: Summer Wrap Bracelet

Todays DIY is for this native American inspired wrap bracelet, with a leather, horse button from a vintage tweed blazer.

For this you will need friendship thread (embroidery thread), beads (I got these at Walmart), and your button of choice.

Wrap your thread around your wrist to see how long it needs to be. Make sure to add a few extra inches for the loop and the button. I cut my string at 36 inches.

Tie a loop at one end. It needs to be big enough for your button to fit through.

Begin beading.

Once you've beaded to the end, tie on your button and snip the extra. Wrap it around your wrist and put the button through the loop. I like to wear mine with my watch. Leave me a comment letting me know what you think. Have a great day!
