A new summer tube top in your wardrobe this summer? I think so.
I didn't have to buy a single thing for this project. The only thing that was tricky was sewing the elastic on-- my sewing machine is broken :(

Step 1First, find a uniquely shaped object to dip in diluted bleach. Splatter, rub, and stamp on your T-shirt in different patterns with the bleach.
-
Step 2While it's drying gather up old bracelets, necklaces, and beads.
-
Step 3Once it's dry cut across the top of the shirt, right below the armhole.
-
Step 4Turn the shirt inside out, and use a tape measurer to find the middle and mark it with a pen or fabric chalk. (This is at the top of the shirt on the front)
-
Step 5Sew the elastic on where you made the mark. (Make sure to pull the elastic tight while sewing)
For me, this entire T-shirt was recycled because I cut out elastic from one of my other clothes to use for this. $$$ saver -
Step 6Take a different material, I just used a different T-shirt, and measure from your neck to your cleavage.
Cut this strip of material thin enough to go through the eye the needle. Cut 2 of these strips. -
Step 7
Sew the 2 strips onto the top of the elastic.
-
Step 8Thread the beads onto the material. Both sides should be in the same bead order for prettiest results :)
-
Step 9Cut another 2 strips of material (thicker) and tie them onto the ends of the beads.
-
Step 10Your done! Adjustments can be made to the back if it is feeling too loose.
