Your favorite t-shirt, which has lost its presentation, can be easily turned into an original accessory - a braided belt. It will decorate your jeans or skirt.
Few starting materials are needed: a T-shirt, scissors, pins, metal rings, thread with a needle or a sewing machine.
First, take your scissors and cut the T-shirt into four strips 5-7 cm (2.5 inches) wide.
We fasten the ends of the ribbons with a pin so that they do not fall apart, and press down on top with a tin or glass jar, a book or
We begin to weave, like a "pigtail in four strands." I hope the skills from childhood remained. If not, the photos show the weaving pattern.
It should turn out something similar. If you make a belt of three stripes, it will turn out to be very thin. You can practice weaving five strips.
When you're done braiding, tie off the ends to keep it from unraveling.
Now you need to sew the ends of the product and thread the rings to get the belt itself.
It turns out here is such a beauty.
