DIY Style: Easy Steps To Upcycling Your Old T-Shirts Into Trendy Crop Tops

We all own a favourite old T-shirt which we neither want to throw away nor we can wear it while stepping out. The best way to mend things with an old T-shirt is to transform it into a trendy crop top and style it with different bottoms. If you are ready to dive into the world of DIY and fashion, then scroll down to learn the step-by-step process to do the same.

Ways To Make A Crop Top

Here are the ways to make crop tops out of old T-shirts:

The Basic Way

The basic way to make a crop top is to fold your t-shirt half vertically, holding the centre and lining the sleeves up. Lay the t-shirt on a flat surface and measure how much you want to cut off from the bottom. Now, place heavy weights towards the top of the t-shirt and pull up the part of the t-shirt you want to cut. Use a scissor to cut off in a straight line.

Create Fun Fringes

Fringes can be a great addition to your upcycled crop top (crop top to wear based on zodiac sign). All you need to do is fold the t-shirt in half and smooth it out. Mark the fabric you want to cover your body before cutting the fringe. Then unfold the t-shirt and lay it flat down with the front of the shirt facing up. Snip about two inches up the bottom of the shirt working your way around the back and sides of the shirt. You can stretch out the fringe to make them thinner.

Tie A Front Knot

If you don’t want to make any cuts to your T-shirt but still want to ensure the look of the crop top (how to style a crop top), then the best way to do that is to make a front knot. You can learn to create a front knot from YouTube videos.

Cut The Sides

Lay your T-shirt on a flat surface and fold it vertically in half. Make two-inch cuts with fabric scissors into the sides of the shirt. Unfold the shirt and pull at the cutouts. Then grab the fringes and cut them in half. Tie the two sides of each bisected fringe to create a shorter, cinched top with ribbons running up the side.
