1. 

   

   All you need is :
   
   a old large t-shirt
   scissors
   fabric paint (but I used acrylic)

2. 

   

   just get an old t-shirt, any colour you wish, the old t-shirt should be large here I have a medium size t-shirt




3. 

   

   Use fabric paint or any other paint (I used acryllic) and using your hands paint your top with the colours of your own choice. By using your hands it creates a different texture and roughness to the necklush
   
   I used green, black and white

4. 

   

   cut across (t-shirts waist), using sissors depending on how thick you want your necklush, a ruler width should be your minimum




5. 

   

   you cut a few centimeters in to your t-shirt
   
   you get hold or the two ends and start tearing downwards towards the other side of your t-shirt
   
   the tearing part enables the necklush to curve/ roll
   
   when you reach the end of the t-shirt, due to the seam you should cut off your fabric with scissors
   
   

6. 

   

   keep repeating this until you reach underneath the sleeves of the t-shirt
   
   you should get something like this....or better

7. 

   

   however, you the seams are visable so collect the two ends of the fabric, collect them at their seams
   
   

8. 

   

   tie them up using one of the fabric strips

9. 

   

   so it sould look something like that

10. 

    

    if your a bit confused heres picture diagrams
    
    the orange lines is where you cut with your scissors
    the red = is where you rip
    
    when you cut your t-shirt, you cut front and back at together

11. 

    

    what do I mean about tearing
    
    so here is the cut you have done with your scissors

12. 

    

    get hold of both ends and pull
    when you are pulling you should tear yout t-shirt in the same direction of the red lines (in setp 11)
    
    due to the seam on the other side of the t-shirt, you will have to cut it off
    
    (when tearing, make sure you tear both front and back of the t-shirt together)

13. 

    

    You should get something like this.... but a bit more realistic ..
    
    

14. 

    

    you can still see the seams
    so use left over farbric
    get all the seams together and wrap around the seams (so it looks like step 8)
    and do the same with the other :)

this is gorgeous but i don't quite understand the tutorial, can't quite get my head around it...maybe you could add some diagrams/drawings of a t-shirt and where to cut/rip etc...maybe it's just me. thanks either way!
