T-Shirt to Tank Top DIY

So it's hot right? And you have all of those t-shirts you wore in middle school, to hide your awkwardness, in the back of your closet. What are you going to do with them? Throw them out? NO! Repurpose them!!

what you need:
-old t-shirt (i bought mine at goodwill for memorial day!)
-scissors



Step 1: cut the sleeves off of the shirt. cutting past the stitching. keep the sleeves!! we will need them later!!

Step 2: turn the shirt so that the sleeves are matching


Step 3: cut the front of your neckline. if you have a design on yours that you wish to keep, your neckline might be more shallow. 

Step 4: cut the back of your shirt (i cut mine a bit too deep..so try to make it come to the half way point of the opening for your arm.)
(my collage program stopped working :( so bear with me!)
Step 5: cut the sleeves in half, then into strips!


they should look like this^^


Step 7: take at least 3 of those strips and tie the two "straps"  together bringing the back into a T shape! 

And you are done!! 



hope you had fun!
