Project: DIY Yarn Necklace Tutorial

Yet another tutorial using t-shirt yarn (woo hoo for upcycling!), this necklace tutorial is incredibly simple to make, and will take you under 10 minutes from getting started to ready-to-wear! Big plus, you can make one to match every outfit you own, so your neck will never be empty or lonely!

I already made a rust orange one, and this blue one. I also used the same concept, only making all loops the same length instead of differing so that I could make matching bracelets. I’m searching our drawers for more t-shirts I can sacrifice in the name of crafting, as well! Hope you like making these as much as I do!

Materials:

T-shirt yarn

Scissors

Instructions:

Loop the yarn around your neck once to see approximately how long you’d like the shortest loop.

Next, mimic that loop with your yarn on a flat surface.

Go around a second time, making the next loop slightly larger.

Repeat for a third loop.

Repeat for a fourth loop, leaving a long tail. Snip yarn.

Pinch all layers together and hold up in the air to make sure all the loops hang just the way you want them to.

Lay back on the flat surface.

With the short tail, making a small knot around all the layers to keep loops together.

With the long tail, tightly wrap around the knot so it isn’t visible, until you run out of yarn.

When you come to the end of the tail, weave it under the wrapped portion to hold it in place.

Voilá ! You have a cute summer necklace that’s ready to wear!

Every shot I took (and I took over a dozen!) looked like a cheap cleavage shot, so I inevitably nixed them all! Hopefully you still get the feel for what it looks like above! Happy crafting!
