1. Fold a t-shirt according to the provided diagram out of 1-1/2" x 3" piece of origami paper. (For demo purposes, we are using 3" x 6" paper). Repeat all steps to create second shirt.

2. Brush on clear fingernail polish or acrylic topcoat to seal. Let dry completely. Punch a hole at the top of each t-shirt in the collar area.

3. Cut off a head pin and create a 1/4" diameter loop. Feed the loop through the hole in the collar area on both t-shirts.

4. Add a few decorative beads and then make another 1/4" diameter loop. Add the earwire and close with pliers to finish.
