Photographs

I'm a bit of a fan of using phone photography apps Instagram and Camera+. The ability to improve my photographs (they need it!) is brillant. Here's a few I've done....

T-Shirt Bracelet Tutorial

I came across some lovely bracelets made from plaited t-shirts (various variations on pinterest most notably from the henryhappened.com and cutoutandkeep) so thought I'd give it a go. Once I played around with how to make them they were very easy and quick. 

Here's how I made mine...

Ingredients

• - T-shirt strips - I had some already cut up from an old necklace but if not find a jersey t-shirt you don't mind cutting up. 
• Cord (or ribbon)
• Thin bendable wire (I used 28 gauge beading wire)
• Glue

How to

• If you need to cut up the t-shirt into three strips, about 2cm/0.5-1inch wide and 30cm/12inches long. 
• Cut the cord into three 28cm/11inch pieces
• Hold the ends together, with the cord slightly higher

• Wind the wire around the ends to hold the cord and t-shirt strips together and in place
• Separate into three groups and plait

• Plait until it's the right length around your wrist. I have made mine to pull over my hand. 
• Wind wires around the ends and cut off the excess cord and t-shirt strips

• With the wire, continue winding around both ends to bind them together

• Cut a piece of fabric to cover the ends and wire.  Fold the fabric over and wrap around the ends, glue in place.

•  Leave to dry then it's ready to wear! Enjoy!
