T-Shirt Transformation : Shirt to Fringe Scarf

I have really been going crazy with all of my t-shirt transformations lately! These are so fun and really easy to do! It's great to bring something plain and ordinary to life by adding your own twist. I am a fan of showing your personal style, and what a great way to do this with designing your own creation from a t-shirt!

I was on pinterest and came across a fun fringe scarf idea several weeks ago. Check it out here! With all my other projects going on I hadn't had time to do this one until today! A few other bloggers have done this fun diy too! Check out this one over at Ohh Em Gee Boutique!

Check out my before and after pictures and read the super easy instructions on how to make your own fringe scarf!



 
 
What you need:
 
T-shirt
Scissors
 
 
Directions:
 
1) Grab a t-shirt
2) Cut the shirt about half way down. Make sure your shirt is laying flat so you cut both sides.
3) Take your scissors and cut slits from the bottom up going about half way up the length of the shirt.
4)Check out the picture to see how I spaced them.
5) Once you cut the slits your fringe has formed! Pull the pieces downward to stretch them.
6) I then stretched the top of the shirt so it would "roll".
7) Wear your super cute new fringe scarf!

T-Shirt Transformation : Plain Tee to Chevron Tie Front Top No Sew DIY

Yes, you guessed it! This is another T-shirt transformation! By now you all know how much I love to revamp the plain and make it more fun! This DIY tells you how to turn a plain t-shirt into a tie front chevron print top. Below the picture are easy to follow instructions so you can make your own tie front tee!
T-shirt transformation: Chevron Tie front top

 
Supplies :
 
T-shirt
Scissors
Tape (masking or painters tape is best)
Fabric Paint, Iron on design, etc (if you want a plain tee skip this!)
 
How To:
 
1) Start with a t-shirt. Plain works best if you want to add a design, decal, transfer, or patch of any type. This works best if the shirt is about a size larger than you normally wear, but as long as the shirt isn't tight it will work fine!
2) Tape your pattern on your shirt.
3)Once your apply your paint, decal, design, etc. let it dry. The fabric paint I used said to allow four hours to dry.
4) Once your design is finished cut the front of the shirt. You don't want to cut the back yet! Right now just focus on the tie!
5) Cut the front a few inched from the bottom across both sides. Stop at the mid point as shown in the picture. From there cut down at an angle. This will form a triangle shape.
6) Cut the "V" or triangle shape in the middle forming two sides.
7) Cut the neckline and sleeves at your desired length and shape. It's best to stretch the cut parts on the shirt to form a rolled look. Now tie the front!
8) You're all done! Put on your new top and rock it!

T-Shirt Transformation : Plain Tee to Fab Off The Shoulder Top


Have you noticed my fascination with tee shirt transformations lately? I have been doing quite a few of them! Some of my transformations haven't been shown yet, so keep an eye out! Last week I showed you how to turn a plain tee into a cute skirt. If you haven't seen it yet check it out HERE! This was one of my Lucky contributions! You can view those HERE!

I love taking something plain and "boring" and turning it into something fun and unique! This is such a simple way of showing you own sense of style with a touch of flair! Here is my T-Shirt transformation! Check below the picture for a quick how to!


How To:

1) Grab a plain t-shirt.
2) Decide on your design. Hearts, stars, quotes, it's totally up to you!
3) Tape or place your decal where you want the design to be. I decided to do stripes at a slant.
4) Grab your fabric paint. These are really affordable and can be picked up at any craft store.
5) Start painting! I waited about 5 minutes and added a second coat where needed.
6) I wanted to add an anchor, so I put the decal on top of my stripes. I wanted to slant the anchor the way I slanted the stripes.
7) Paint some more!
8) Remove your decals, tape, etc and let your shirt dry for about 4 hours. I waited until the next day.
9) I cut the collar off my shirt to make an off the shoulder style top.
10) Wear it!

How easy was that? I have several more upcoming DIY projects and ton's of great new fashion and style posts! Will you be making your own transformed tee?
