Day 7: DIY Colored Thread Bracelet

Remember the bottom part of the tshirt I cut off the other day....well momma always said "waste not, want not." I'm not really sure I know what that means but the Indians didn't waste any part of the buffalo, and we're not wasting parts of the tshirt!
I came up with this little idea all you need is:

Bottom part of old tshirt, skizzers, tapestry needle, and cross-stitch thread (this bag I've had since the days of making friendship bracelets)

  Thread your needle, pick your first color, and start stitching. No particular pattern, in fact, the sloppier the better in my opinion.

 Stitch about, oh 4 or 5 inches, then stitch back the other direction, once again, no particular pattern and the sloppier the better.
                                                                    Change colors, repeat.


                                             Closer look at my beautiful stitching. I think i have a future here.


                                                         Keep stitching, all the way around the horn.





                                      Wrap it around your wrist and voila! a rather cute bracelet.
