Heellooo! (: I actually created this top a while back, and I've received many compliments on it from school. This is a nice way to reconstruct and old t-shirt into something cute! (:

Enjoy! (:

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Scissors
  • Some T Shirt Scraps(optional)
  • Ribbon (optional)
  • 1 Fitting T Shirt
  • Needle And Thread

Steps (8 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    *Try to avoid using a shirt that's one or two sizes larger. For best results, aim for a shirt that fits nicely.

  2. 2

    Flip it over to the backside.

  3. 3

    Mark lines 3" apart, & 6" long.

    *You do not need to follow my measurements. You can cut it longer or shorter if you wish.

  4. 4

    Cut along those marks/lines.

    After you cut, you should now have 3" wide sections.

  5. 5

    Take the first section...

  6. 6

    Gather the section at the center. It should sort of look like a bow.

  7. 7

    For the fabric/ribbon, you can use ribbon, cut off the hem of the T-shirt, OR you can use the sleeves.
    Repeat on all the other sections.

  8. 8

    And you're done! (:

    I paired mine with a cute lace top and gray leggings.
