Girls, take one basic tee and transform it into three totally hot looks.

This one is constructed in phases. Here’s how it’s done:

Phase 1: Cap It

Step 1: Lay the tee flat.
Step 2: Cut the sleeves at an angle. Start at the armpit and cut upward and outward at a diagonal.

Note: Save those cut-off sleeves. You’ll need ‘em for Phase 2.
With this look, you’ve created a cute cap sleeve. Go to the next phase for a more detailed style.

Phase 2: Get the Scoop

Step 1: Lay tee flat.
Step 2: Cut the neck in a half circular pattern to create a scoop.
Step 3: At the top of each sleeve, cut a slit from the outside to the shoulder seam.
Step 4: Now, get your scrap sleeves from Phase 1. Cut two strips each about ¾” long then cut ‘em in half.
Step 5: Tie each strip around one of the newly cut slits at the sleeves to create a bow.

Now, those sleeves are dressed up and your neck exposed. Dare to go further? Check out the third and final phase to see how you can take this tee to the extreme for some ultra unique style.

Phase 3: Tie It Up

Step 1: Lay the tee flat.
Step 2: Cut off the bottom portion of the tee right along the seam then cut this strip in half.
Step 3: Turn the tee over.
Step 4: Grab your pencil and a ruler. Go to the middle of the back and up an inch or two. Measure approximately 6” in from the right and 6” in from the left. You’re gonna make a total of 12 marks (6 pairs) each about 1” long. There will be two columns and three rows.
Step 5: Take your scissors and pinch each mark to make your cuts.
Step 6: Take the bottom strip you cut off in Step 2 and thread it through your slits. It’s kinda like lacing a shoe.
Step 7: Show it off! Adjust the back corset-style lacing to fit.

Now, you’re ready for a new look as unique as you!
