Description

(sorry about the camera angle, my camera does no work so i had to use the webcam fitted in my laptop)

Instructions

  1. Small picture0348 1244805160

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

  2. Small 500x400 1244805373

    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. Small picture0312 1244805436

    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. Small picture0316 1244805505

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

  5. Small picture0321 1244805552

    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. Small picture0328 1244805645

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

  7. Small picture0329 1244805701

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

  8. Small picture0349 1244805804

    tie them up using one of the fabric strips

  9. Small picture0353 1244805961

    so it sould look something like that

  10. Small ffh 1244836973

    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. Small nk 1244837259

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

  12. Small dfgh 1244837681

    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. Small untitlednm 1244837792

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

  14. Small untitlednmn 1244837898

    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 :)
