Cut away hem.\r\n<li>From the bottom, cut 2.5cm strips across the t-shirt up to the sleeve underarm. Do not worry if they are not perfect, the edges will not show when finished.\r\n<li>Stretch out all the strips then loop them together, matching seams (if t-shirt has them). Put aside.\r\n<li>Cut around the armhole &amp; cut 2 more strips, same width as before. You should have 4 shorter strips. Cut away any seams or overlocking.\r\n<li>Take one strip &amp; start wrapping &amp; overlapping tightly around (the seams if you have any), the grouped strips. By wrapping tightly you will secure the end.\r\n<li>When you come to the end of the end of that strip, take another &amp; continue wrapping ensuring the previous strip end is secured into the wrap, while moving along the strips.\r\n<li>About half way into wrapping with the strip, add the last 2 strips, letting them hang down. Hold them firmly in place while you continue wrapping with the previous strip. This will hold the 2 strips securely.\r\n<li>To securely finish the wrapping take the end to the back &amp; feed through a few layers of the wrap. This may be a little fiddly as it is tight. Do this again &amp; pull through tightly &amp; cut off end so it is not visible.\r\n<li>Lay the necklace flat with the wrap on one side allowing the 2 strips to hang by the side too. Cut those strips to necklace length. Take each one separately &amp; cut 10cm up the centre. Tread 3 pony beads on each strip piece &amp; double knot ends. Cut off excess.\r\n<li>Your necklace is ready to wear!<\/li><\/ol>","shopping_list":"<ul>\r\n\r\n<li>Fabric Scissors<\/li><\/ul>","shopping_list_2":"","top_tip":"You can wear this necklace in different ways. Twist the strips altogether to form a chunky twist or you can double it over to make a shorter necklace.","image_01":75581,"step_instruction_01":"","image_02":75582,"step_instruction_02":"","image_03":75583,"step_instruction_03":"","image_04":"","step_instruction_04":"","image_05":"","step_instruction_05":"","image_06":"","step_instruction_06":"","template":"","related_projects":"6533,6527,6522,6516,8041","latest_idea_content":"most-recent","show_date":false,"adult_supervision_needed":"Yes","youtube_video":"","products":"FX901,AX109,AV868","fbt_products":"","recommendation_products":""},"view_count":10,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6511"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75586,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6511\/revisions\/75586"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
