Here is my second version of the T-Shirt necklace made with buttons. My first T-Shirt necklace was the Button Embellished T-Shirt Necklace and you can read more about it by clicking on the title.
To find out how to make the t-shirt portion of the necklace visit Whole Living or there are a few companies such as consumercrafts.com who sell the strips of colorful cotton all cut up and ready to go. And BTW one package of the Accessory Loops made BOTH necklaces. ;)
Why yes, I DID take the easy way out! AGAIN!
The supplies I used in this project are:
- Darice Accessory Loops – Burlesque
- Darice Accessory Loops – Silver Clasp Rings
- Gold and Silver Grab Bag
To make this style of necklace I cut all of the t-shirt strips (just one snip on each strip to make a long T-Shirt strand) and threaded the buttons on.
Getting the fabric through the shank of the button is a little tricky and I used a wooden skewer to push the fabric through the hole. It’s a tight enough fit that you don’t have to tie knots to hold the buttons in place.
To finish it off – tie a knot in the ends of the t-shirt strands.
To wear this style necklace fold the strands in half and lay it around your neck. Feed the ends through the fold and adjust to your liking.
Post Notes: The gold and silver buttons were provided for my use from Buttons Galore and More but the product from Consumer Crafts I purchased myself.
