How To Make an Independence Day T-Shirt

To paint your own t-shirt you can use Simply Spray fabric paint , available at Michaels or Krylon spray paint available at Walmart for a buck. Simply Spray colors are more intense but the Krylon spray paint is more economical and becomes softer after the wash.

A few things to note:

Each t-shirt will be unique using the easy random twist, pleat and scrunch method.  New t-shirts must be washed before being painted to remove sizing so the fabric or spray paint will penetrate uniformly.  Lay out the t-shirt on newspaper outside.  Finger pleat the lower part of the shirt and lay a newspaper over the top part from the sleeves up.  Spray the lower pleated part with red and let dry.

Cover the lower part of the t-shirt with newspaper so you can protect the red striped area and work on the top blue part of the t-shirt. Using stiff paper, cut out a few stars and place on each sleeve, held in place by a small rock.  Hold a bit of the t-shirt fabric in your fingers and turn your wrist forming a spiral several places on the top of the t-shirt as shown in the video.  Spray the top part of the exposed t-shirt lightly with blue paint.  [["validates_presence_of",{"message":"Please enter your email address."}],["validates_length_of",{"too_long":"Your email address must contain between 5 and 100 characters.","maximum":100,"allow_nil":true}],["validates_email_format_of",{"message":"Your email address is not properly formatted.

DIY Stylish Cut Up T-shirt: Corset Back | First Class Fashionista

DIY cut up t-shirt

Materials you will need:

-Fabric scissors

-Any t-shirt of your desire

 

Steps

Cut your neckline how you would like it (I chose to cut mine so it hung off my shoulders). Fold your t-shirt in half so you can cut the back evenly. Cut one-centimeter strips as far down the back you would like. I cut mine slanted and all the way down to the bottom of the shirt.

Unfold the shirt and make sure the strips are even on both sides. If not, it’s no big deal, just cut them a little more to match. Now, pull the strips one by one, so the sides curl and the become thinner.

Now, take the second string down, and bring it under the first strip; and then back over it; then take the third and bring it under the second strip and back over. Continue down the entire shirt; once you have reached the bottom, cut the last string and tie a knot around the bottom seam. Continue as many times as you would like, I did six different braids starting and ending at different points
