Do it Yourself! Turn your T-shirt into Something Chic!

Want to transform your old “boxie” t-shirts into something super cute?

We all have a couple of t-shirts that never get worn in our drawers. Here is a simple way to turn those tees into something you would love to wear to the gym or out and about. Give it a try and upcycle your t-shirt drawer.

YOU WILL NEED

•  T-shirt
• Pair of scissors

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 

   Start with a pre-washed t-shirt. Any old shirt will do — the bigger the better.

2. 

   Cut away the ribbed neckline and bottom hem. For the sleeves, start from the shoulder and cut downwards, determining how thick you want your straps. Cut straight down and then begin to curve down below the armpit seam.

3. 

   Determine how low you want your front neckline, and cut away.

4. 

   Flip the shirt over and make a narrow racer back, curving inward from the armpits. Then cut a deep “V” shape from the top neckline.

5. 

   Stretch the excess bottom hemline until it becomes one long string of fabric. Knot the string a couple of inches above the bottom of the “V” shape.

6. 

   Wrap the string all the way down around the center of the racer back, and back up to meet the other ends. Knot the ends together tightly. Trim the loose ends.

7. 

   To give your tank a high-low look, lay your shirt sideways, flattening it out evenly. Starting a few inches up on the front of your shirt, start cutting diagonally until you reach the back.

Throw it on with some cute leggings, grab your water and hit the gym!
