Supplies
Old Tee Shirts
Scissors
Pony Beads
Instructions
Gather your old t-shirts and cut off the sleeves.
Trim the sleeves into strips anywhere from half an inch to two inches wide. Be sure to snip the loop of the sleeve so that it is one long strip.
String on pony beads, Obviously it will be harder to string them on the wider strips of t-shirt but the effect in the end is well worth the trouble.
Center your beads-tie them in place if you need to, size your headband to fit, and there you have it!
