DIY T-Shirt Halter Tops

Make your own colorful halter tops out of T-shirts.

T-shirts are a lot more versatile than they seem and there are usually too many of them hanging around in your drawers. Why not take a T-shirt that doesn't get a lot of wear and turn it into something fantastic? You can make that humdrum T-shirt into a sexy halter top and plan on turning some heads.

Things You'll Need

• Scissors

Instructions

1. Lay the T-shirt flat on a work surface. Cut the sleeves of the T-shirt off.

2. Cut across the back of the T-shirt between the two arm holes.

3. Cut a "V" shape out of the fabric above the cut, leaving two long straps.

4. Slip the T-shirt on and make any adjustments with the scissors, like straightening up any edges.

5. Tie the straps together and you're ready to go.
