DIY: Five Easy Ways To Give Your Old T-shirts Cool Makeovers

We all own several t-shirts, out which a few we don’t wear or are simply stacked on the shelves of the cupboards. T-shirts are comfortable and stylish garments, which can be donned at any occasion if styled and accessorised correctly. While there are a few tees that we love to wear on a regular basis, there are others that don’t feel trendy enough. Have you ever wished to redesign them and give a completely different look? If yes, then we are here with extremely easy ideas that can turn your boring t-shirts into stylish pieces that you can wear on any occasion.

Things You Will Need

• Crochet lace
• Fabric Glue
• Pair of scissors
• Old T-shirt
• Measuring Tape
• Chalk
• Pins

Peplum Top

• Start by measuring your waist using a measuring tape. Take your t-shirt (use an oversized tee). Turn it over and mark the t-shirt as per the size of your waist. You want the waist to be fitted.
• Using a thread and a needle stitch the waist.
• Cut the portion of the fabric from the bottom. Precisely below the area from where you ended stitching.
• Stretch the cut portion from its neck. You will notice the piece is looking like a skirt with frills.
• To attach the skirt and the top pin both together and then stitch.

Butterfly Twist-Back Tee

• This one is the easiest one to make. All you need to do is take one of your plain t-shirts and turn it inside out.
• Using a pin to open the stitches from one side of the tee. Twist the fabric and stitch it normally using hands or sewing machine.

One Shoulder Top

• One shoulder top can never go out of fashion. You can make your own one-shoulder top by following these steps.
• Take your old tee and chalk to start marking the area you need to cut.
• Leave one-inch space on the right shoulder mark a cross.
• From neck to the cross make an arc. Using a pair of scissors cut the arc.
• Stretch the t-shirt and your one-shoulder top is ready.

Fringe T-Shirt

• Fringe t-shirts are fun to make. All you need do is take any tee and start making vertical straps.
• To avoid cutting excess fabric you can also mark the line. Once you draw the line, do not cut the fabric above the mark.
• Once you cut vertical straps at the bottom of the tee, start pulling each strap to stretch the fabric.

Crochet Sleeve T-Shirt

• Lay your old t-shirt on a plane surface. Take your crochet lace and measure the sleeves.
• Using the pair of scissors, cut the hem of the sleeves.
• Stretch the cloth a bit and apply fabric glue. Now, take the lace and carefully on the edge of the sleeves.
• Keep the lace up and fabric inside for a sleek look.
