How to Make a T-shirt Charm Bracelet

You will need a few supplies on hand to make these cute t-shirt charm bracelets.

You can easily grab all of your supplies from the local craft store:

  • knit jersey T-shirt scraps (from your closet)
  • satin rattail cord (2mm size)
  • charms of your choice (link to heart charms)
  • (2) 1/2″ x 1/8″ disk neodymium magnets for each bracelet
  • scissors
  • hairband (aka ponytail holder or rubber band)
  • hot glue gun

Follow the simple step by step instructions below.

Charm Bracelet Supplies

Charm Bracelet Supplies

1. Cut your knit jersey T Shirt lengths to be about 1 inch wide by 12 inches long.
2. Cut your satin rattail cord to 10 inches long
3. Attach your hair band to the strands for your bracelet
4. Separate your strands, one knit jersey/one rattail cord into three sections

Start braiding your strands. (It makes things easy if you place a book or something heavy on top of the starting point.)

When you have accomplished about half of your braid, take the charm of your choice and add that to the satin rattail cord.

When you are done braiding, your bracelet should look something like this…

Grab those pesky magnets.

(I call them pesky because they drove me crazy today, and that could be a whole other blog post all by itself.)

I did not take a picture of this part, but pinch the end of your braid and cut it off the remaining strands to make them even, then add glue to the magnet while it is flat on your work station, once you have added the glue to the magnet, place the ends of the bracelet onto the magnet.

I think made an additional small bead of glue around the bottom of the bracelet cord after it was attached just to give it extra staying power. Then so the same to the other end.

There you have it! Simple, easy, and fun to do with your little one.

Just make sure you are controlling the glue gun!
