I bought this cool tie dye t-shirt from my latest thrift haul and I decided to make it into a muscle tee with cut outs in the back. This project was so easy and fun you should definitely make 1 or 2 or 3 of your own. It's perfect for the Summer months and you can even wear it over a swimsuit.
Supplies:
t-shirt
scissors
ruler
pencil/chalk
With the pencil, mark where you want to strips to start and end from the top to the bottom of the shirt.
Using the ruler make dots 1 inch apart from top to bottom.
Connect the dots horizontally using the edge of the ruler to make a straight line.
Fold the back side of shirt in half.
Cut the strips in between each dot.
Stretch each strip. The harder you stretch, the longer the strip and vice-versa. I lightly stretched the first 3 strips and made the remaining strips a little longer.
Yay!!!! I love it and stealing it..lol. I have been dying to do a shirt like this but never knew how to. Thanks for this DIY, I will definitely be trying it out with some older tees this weekend!
I have a lot of muscles in my arms so muscle tees actually accentuate them a bit too much. But I really like how the shredded back of the tee highlights your tattoos so well!
I love the color of the top your bought and I think you did an amazing job with it. It looks like a completely different top now. I am also loving those boots.
I love this fun look. I like the idea of it over a swimsuit...it hides what you want, but is still sassy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Diy as usual !
ReplyDeleteI like how it looks like a regular top from the front and then BAM, the back is so fun!
