Twisted Straps, No Sew

Making long straps a bit shorter.

I did this because the straps were too long. Although it doesn't fall down as nearly as much, it still does. Oh well.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 Scissors
  • 1 Tank Top
  • 2 maybe a metre long? Lace Ribbon
  • 1 Lighter

Steps (5 steps, 3 minutes)

  1. 1

    If you have a top that has straps that fall, this is for you!

  2. 2

    I tied two bits of ribbon together onto the front strap. I tied it up a few times and then cut the ends off of the last knot.

  3. 3

    For the ends, I tied a few knots and I cut the loose ends after. Then melted the fabric a bit with a lighter so it wouldn't come out easily.

  4. 4

    Tip: to get the original strap to be thicker than the ribbon, make sure you're tying the ribbon around the strap not making the ribbon one? I don't think that makes sense but I don't know how to describe it xD .. See how I'm holding the strap in the photo?
    Well basically, just do whatever you feel is good :)
