PopJunkLove T-shirt Necklace | Giveaway Winner + DIY Tutorial!

And we've got a winner!
Congratulations to Leonise! She just won for herself a T-shirt necklace from PopJunkLove!


The Choose to Reuse Giveaway may be over and done with, but don't fret because Roma - one-half of the PopJunkLove duo - and I still have something in store for you! As a treat for my readers and followers, especially to those who participated in the recently-concluded Choose to Reuse Giveaway, we're sharing  this tutorial on how to make your very own T-shirt necklace. And so they say, if you can't win it, make it!

This tutorial is also posted on Roma's blog, filed under the DIY Challenge category. Click on the images to enlarge. Photo credits to PopJunkLove.


The materials are pretty simple. Take an old stretchy cotton shirt (best if it's in your favorite color), a pair of scissors, a needle, some thread, and that's about it! DIY project, here we go!

Erratum on photo number 3: 'each' not 'its'

Wrap and work your way up!

Almost done!

Ta-daaa!


Although I may not be the most arts-and-craftsy person in the world, I had fun doing this project (I reckon my son enjoyed it much more than I did, haha!). It's always nice to learn new, innovative things. And it's not everyday that you get an upcycling guru to do a DIY tutorial for you. 

So I'm also taking this opportunity to thank Roma and Maan for sharing their creativity and skill with me and my readers. And for sponsoring this giveaway, too! Many thanks and more power to PopJunkLove! :)

  1. That's awesome, Czjai! I'm not a crafty person myself, but I think that's something I can actually make. I'm sure my daughter will have fun making it with me. I see myself wearing that on a plain white shirt or tank top ;)
