T-SHIRT MAKE OVER


I have some Τ-shirts in colors, which I hardly wear. I do not even know how they ended up in my closet. I thought of this DIY idea, in order to use mainly colours I no longer like to wear in total look, and instead I transform them into bulky accessories. It is a very simple process and out of one T-shirt you can surely make 4-6 accessories for you and friends 🙂


Get that t-shirt and get ready for the DIY!


Watch the steps below!


Tools

x a pair of scissors
x a ruler
x a marker
x a hairpin or a safety pin

Materials

x an old t-shirt
x some cord, either from the same t-shirt or any other strings – here I am using shoe laces!


Let’s DIY doIt!


Fold the shirt in half, so you can handle it more easily.

Draw a line on the sides of your T-shirt starting at the bottom hem and reaching to the shoulder, which will be used as a cutting line

Take the safety pin to pin through your ribbon or laces. This way it will be easy to loop the ribbon through the tunnel that used to form the bottom hem of the T-shirt

This is how you are getting in and you keep on pushing until you reach the end of your piece

Start cutting straight lines of 4-5 cm width each and be careful not to cut the seam line on the tunnel

Stretch every single strap
