Creative Solution for Oversized Shirt

Have a big shirt and don't know what do to with it? Well why not try this solution! It's perfect to layer over another shirt to make it look brand new!

Here's the same look, but this is from Bebe. It costs $69!!! Say whaaaa?

Any idiot with a pair of scissors can do that.

Here's how its done. Simply fold you shirt in halves the direction in which you want the cuts to be made. Then, simply cut along the edge. It looks good if you try and keep the lines even. I did multiple rows on mine. I also cut out the neckline of the shirt to make in a tank top style.

Its super easy. I like the style with something a little more formal over it. Otherwise, it can look really sloppy looking just worn plain. Try it out! See how it goes! The possibilities are endless!

Bleach Painting

Bleach painting is an inexpensive way for you to reinvent old t-shirts.
All you need is:
-Paint brushes
-Bleach
-Plastic bags
-Colored cotton t-shirt

First place plastic in-between the layers of the fabric, otherwise the bleach may bleed through to the other sides of the garment.

Then, Use the bleach like you would paint. I recommend using Splashless bleach, its a bit thicker than regular bleach, and would drip and spread as much, if you're looking for a clean line look.

An added technique is to have different ratios of water to bleach. By adding different amounts of water, you can different values of bleaching. You can have a more 3D effect that way. I suggest using scrap fabric to test the effects of bleach. I also suggest you layout the design first. The bleach is VERY permanent, so be careful!

                                                            

     Here's the back of dress I did where I used the same bleaching technique. 

There's a lot of different ideas you could do. I thinks stripes or flames would be a really cool effect. Or, just painting a really cool graphic would be a real exciting design.

Amazing Fake Collar Shirt

This is a technique for changing any plain t-shirt into a stylish trendy collared shirt.
All you need is:
-Scissors
-Old Collar shirt (something you don't want anymore)
-Different colored t-shirts (crew neck or v-neck)
Here's the finished product:

This is an easy and cost effective look. All you have to do is cut off the center placket of a dress shirt. Simply cut along the outside seam like so.

 This is what it will look like once you cut around the entire collar piece.

 Finally, place the collar with any t-shirt to create a fake collar shirt look. What would look really cool is if you put a bow tie with it. Mix and match the collar with different shirts. Potentially, you could wear the same collar everyday with different shirts and no one would be able to tell the difference!
