• Step 1

  Here's the full video tutorial! Check out my YouTube channel, Salinabear for more tutorials :)

  Step 2

  Here's the t-shirt I started with. It's a size small in American Apparel created by Hamburger Disco. The image is a swarm of hamburger bees!

  Step 3

  Step 1: Cut off the neckline to your liking

• 

  Step 4

  Step 2: Plan out how wide you want each column. I cut where the white lines are shown.

• 

  Step 5

  Step 3: Cut the two narrow columns on each side

• 

  Step 6

  Step 4: Braid the two narrow columns using this tutorial -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh2uwl1QRf4&feature=share&list=SP9680F0D62BB133EE

  Step 7

  Step 5: Cut the wide column in the middle

• 

  Step 8

  Step 6: Your choice to customize the middle column. You could weave it or use another idea but I tied 3 strings together to make a "bow" look. I created strings from the bottom hem that I cut off in the beginning.

  Step 9

  Step 7: Optional, but I cut off the first four strings to get rid of the logo and create a lower back. I cut where the white lines are shown.

  Step 10

  Done! Here's the final look!

Does it make the shirt tighter? Because I have a big shirt I'm looking to shape up.
