Everyone has those T-shirts that just sit in the back corner of your dresser and rarely ever get worn. Why not put them to good use? You can do this by reusing them to make everyday accessories, such as bracelets, headbands and even scarves.

You will need scissors, a needle and thread. Cut up your T-shirt in even strips, long enough to fit around your wrist or head. Then, braid them together.

You can also use more than one color to combine into the braid. If you can braid with more than three pieces, the braid will be thicker.

Next, stitch the end before starting to braid to make a secure end, then braid, fit your creation to the desired size and stitch up the end. I suggest making your creation a little on the tighter side because it will stretch as it gets worn.

Finally, put a small piece of extra cloth around the combined two ends to cover up all the sewing. You now have a new and cheap homemade accessory. They are simple and make great gifts.
