A couple snips and a plain T shirt is transformed into a super cute vest!
I chose this T shirt because I LOVED the Guns N' Roses picture. However, I pulled a blonde move and brought it in my size, but it was 100% cotton. It shrunk a lot before I even used it.
So I decided to make this vest and have the picture be on the back!

Step 1
Start with the T shirt you want to cut into the vest, and scissors. Any type of shirt is good. Keep in mind that the fabric will curl/roll slightly along the cut parts since its a no-sew project. :)
Step 2
First step! Cut out the neckline, and two or three inches beyond that to give a loose hang-on-the-shoulders type of fit/feel.
Step 3
Cut straight down the middle.
Step 4
Now focus on the sleeves. Cut straight up to the sewed line (but don't cut over it!)
Step 5
Then cut around the sleeve following the sewed line until it is completely off. Repeat for the other sleeve, and it should look like this picture. It should slightly resemble a tank top sleeve or whatever you call that.
Step 6
OPTIONAL STEP!
See the square edge a few inches to the right of the sleeve holes? They can pop out when you are wearing your vest to give a very square-y look. If you don't like that, you can grab your scissors and start from the bottom, and cut up and make a gentle slope to the top, so that the bottom flares out but the top is sloped and is not square.
Step 7
Ta-dah! here is my result. Hope my 'How-To' was understandable :)
Step 8
The back! Yay!
