ugly cardigan made into cute necklace
Don't discard old clothes find a use first!!
Its cool idea that I found online before giving up and donating my old stuff. These are just a couple neat ideas to upcycle clothing but there are plenty more.
my ugly argyle cardigan |
Remember the old argyle cardigan from my previous post? Well I know it's still ugly. But I decided to give it one more chance and the result is beside throwing it away, making a necklace out of it.
Now to get started, you need some supplies beside just the old clothing article of your choice.
-Clothing article
-Ribbon
-Glue/any usable adhesive
-A pieces of felt
INSTRUCTIONS:
0. Measure out the length or ribbon for your necklace whether it be short or long.
1.Cut strips from clothing article 2 inches wide and double circumference in your head.
2.Pull on the strips from both sides to have the fabric roll inward. That's why it's preferred to use cotton t-shirt fabrics otherwise you might have to iron the strips first.
3.Twist the strips before coiling to make flowers.
4.For the coiling, you will need to put glue or adhesive accordingly as you go so the flower shape can go and take form.
5.Figure how you want your coils to look on flat, laid out ribbon. After you get that placement go for cutting small circles of felt to attach to back of flowers. This means they won't unravel and they can stick more easily to the ribbon.
6.Attach the circles to the ribbon. Glue them to your ribbon. Next you can wear the cute necklace.
