A few snips away to a fabulous sheer top
I've been eyeing all the sheer tops and skirts I've been seeing in magazines and all over the runway. After a little bit of research on Pinterest, I was inspired to make this DIY Sheer (Pantyhose) Top, I admit, I'm not the first to try this!

This honestly took me less than 5 minutes, only a couple of snips with my scissors and the results were totally unexpected!

I honestly LOVE the way this crop sheer top turned out and I can think of a few other versions - polka dots? Please Pin and share with others!

Step 1
What you will need:
A pair of black sheer tights - 20 Denier yield great results, also try to get a pair that DOES NOT have a control top. I also opted for larger size (from a usual small to a medium)

Scissors
Step 2
Layer and line up the tight legs on top of one another.

Cut straight at the ankle position.
Step 3
Lay the tights flat on working surface and split the tight legs apart and flat.
Step 4
Cut around the gusset of the tights. I suggest a smaller cut than a bigger as you can always cut more.
Step 5
Flip around upside down and this is where you will put your head through!
Step 6
Layer on top of a tank or layer under a slouchy top!
