Wanting something new to wear this summer? Look no further than your wardrobe. With a little time and effort, you can transform existing clothes that have become worn or damaged (the hem of this shirt had unraveled and the bottom of the shirt had gotten stretched out) into something that you'll want to wear.
Materials:
*Shirt that you want to turn into a crop top
*Scissors
*Metallic marker or chalk
Directions:
*Cut off the bottom hem of the shirt. If you know you want relatively short fringes, you can cut off a bit more of the bottom of the shirt too, but if you're not sure you can always keep the length at the outset and crop it more later.
*Put on the shirt inside out and draw a line going across the shirt marking where you want the fringes to end.
*Cut the lower portion of the fabric into thin, vertical strips.
*Knot neighboring strips together in pairs, going all the way around the shirt.
*Knot neighboring strips in pairs, tying together neighbors that you did not tie together the previous time.
*Trim fringes to desired length, if necessary.
