Bershka inspired easy necklace.
I saw a fabric necklace like this at Bershka. It was actually really cheap but why spending money when you can DIY for free!!

Step 1
I had a t-shirt that I was about to trash. It has the perfect fabric for the necklace!
I cut 5 layers from the t-shirt.
Step 2
I streched them so they got thin.

I left one long piece (For the neck)

I cut the rest 4 different lenghts.
Step 3
When you strech the fabrin it tends to turn in one side.

I took those 4 pieces as one piece, put them together. I attached the back side of them to the back side of the neck piece and sewed them.
Step 4
After I finished, I hid the stitches inside.
Step 5
I cut a long piece from the t-shirt. I folded and sewed both sides. I used needle because I didn't have sewing machine. Machine would do better of course!
I turned inside out.
Step 6
I cut another little piece for the middle of bow. I tied it on the back but you can sew it, I was too lazy! :)
Step 7
I attached the bow to the necklace.

Enjoy!

Looks like you'd need some kind of clasp or hook and eye. What did you use? I've made one t shirt necklace and the strips didn't curl in as nicely as I wanted them to. I'm wondering whether it depends on the width of the strips. How wide were yours? A local shop is selling them (with lots more strips) for $50 and up!
