Tutorial: Upcycled t-shirt bangle bracelet

If you sew with knits or do many t-shirt refashions, you end up with a pile of knit scraps. Unlike quilting cotton scraps, there’s not much you can do with these bits of fabric. Amanda from Crafts By Amanda shows a cool use for these scraps. She uses them to make braided bangle bracelets. This would be a great craft to make with teens and tweens!
