  Step 1

  okay, first off, i wanted to let you know that i didnt think up of this idea, Megan Nicolay did! its in the book shown in the picture, and its on page 294. i think there was a contest before where the prize was this book, so if you won, kuods to you!

• 

  Step 2

  choose a shirt that you kinda like but fits awkwardly or you dont like the logo on it. in my case, it was both haha

• 

  Step 3

  with your chalk or pen or whatever, make a dot next to both sides of the neckline and in the center of the hem at the bottom. connect the dots to form a triangle

• 

  Step 4

  cut out the triangle

• 

  Step 5

  now cut off the sleeves, including the seams

• 

  Step 6

  make sure when you wrap a piece around you thigh, that it doesnt overlap. if it does then just trim the raw edge until it doesnt overlap anymore. BUT DONT CUT OFF TOO MUCH LIKE ME T^T you'll end up with leggings that are quite tight -__-

• 

  Step 7

  pick up your chalk again and make dots all long the outer edge, one inch from the side and 1.5 inches apart. do the same to the place where the sleeve used to be

• 

  Step 8

  take a t-shirt strip (preferably cut from the bottom of a really big shirt)(again, this strip has to be LONG) and stretch the crap out of it, because you need a really long strip. put safety pins at both ends of the strip.

• 

  Step 9

  thread the strip through the hem opening, if this makes sense D:

• 

  Step 10

  lace down the legging like its a shoe

• 

  Step 11

  take another t-shirt strip and cut it in half, using the half to lace down the other side

• 

  Step 12

  and now you DONE!! wear them as legging under a skirt or dress, or as legwarmers [: so cutee
