After seeing the the crocheted and beaded t-shirt bracelet I made, my six year old wanted to make Valentines bracelets for her whole class. We simplified the process so she could do it without much help: one single strand of “knit noodle*” and one single heart pony bead. She just might start a new, first-grade fad with these little bracelets.
* to make “knit noodles”, cut strips of a t-shirt (parallel to the hem) and stretch them into “tubes.” Experiment with the strip width (1/2″ – 1″) until you get a t-shirt noodle of your liking. Cut the end at a sharp diagonal to make it easier to string on the pony beads.

I really love these!
I love this idea! We’ll definitely be doing this for Valentine’s this year! One question, though: Did you really cut the “noodles” parallel to the hem of the t-shirt? When I do that, they curl up with the “wrong” side of the fabric facing out…? Is that how you did it? Thanks!
Very interesting blog, looking forward to more wonderful!
