Materials:
*Tank top or other shirt
*Ribbon in an assortment of colors
*Fabric adhesive
*Scissors
Directions:
*Select a shirt that fits comfortably or perhaps is a little loose. Since most ribbons aren't very stretchy, if you choose a tighter top the shirt may no longer fit correctly once you have added the ribbon.
*Arrange ribbons along the shirt until you find a pattern and spacing that you find pleasing.
*Cut ribbon so that it goes across the shirt from seam to seam.
*Glue the ends of the ribbon to keep them from fraying.
*Glue the ribbons in place.
Note: If you would like to use a shirt that stretches a little, glue down the center of the ribbons to maintain their position on the shirt, then set aside to dry for some time. Once the glue is reasonably dry, put on the shirt and glue down the ribbon the rest of the way. Let the glue dry for at least half an hour before taking off the shirt. You'll end up with some bunches in the shirt, like what you see with the blue and purple ribbons on my shirt, but it shouldn't be an issue when you're wearing the shirt.
