So first start off with some metal bangle bracelets and old t-shirts you have lying around, whatever colors suit you. These are brand new but i have had them forever and they don't fit...so what the hell, lets cut em up.
Just cut the entire shirt from the bottom to the armpits horizontally into small strips. Make sure you cut the seamed bottom end off we won't use it. I cut about 15 strips of each color (white, grey, black) you need three sets of the same number of strips(5 white, 5 black, 5 grey...or however many colors you have)
after you have your pile of "noodles" stretch them out really tight, but careful not to rip the side seams, after cutting they can get kinda weak depending on how the shirt was sewn.
Next take one of you're bracelets and begin this process of looping on the "noodles" as so. This part is kinda hard to explain in words, its easier to show in person but I'll give it a shot. Take one end of a noodle under the bottom half of the bracelet, then bring it through the center of the bracelet and back over towards the other end of the noodle, lastly take the end and put it through the bottom of the noodle...... Yeah that probably makes no sense...hope the pic helps!
You keep up with the process till you have something like this. Put as many as you want on your bracelet just make sure you have the same number of noodles on each side and make sure you have enough noodles left to connect these two sides together.
Take one of your left over noodles and connect the two ends not connected to the bracelet, together. You can just tie both ends but just make sure you double knot. With mine I connected one of the sides the same way i did when we originally connected it to the bracelet, then tied the other end. (as seen in pic)
Almost done! Now we have it all connected and it's starting to look like an actual scarf...of sorts. I decided to take the rest of the scraps and noodle to make some fringe on with beads the bottom of the bracelet so its not so visible, but you can leave it like this if you want. Its all about personal preference!
and tada! the final result. I love it and believe it or not it's quite warm! :]
