"In this clip I'm going to show you a few ways to cut up some old T-shirts. OK, so there are a few different ways we can cut a shirt. First off is just a straight cut, in like a horseshoe type of shape. You're going to want to mark that with a pen. And this is for the more breezy, outdoor type of feel, so that when you wear a shirt you can wear it to the gym, or out on a jog and you're not to hot. We also want to cut it up top. So you can wear it off the shoulder. Or not, depending on your preference. The other way we're going to cut the shirt is fray the sides so that it's got that old fashioned rustic look. Alright. Now I'm cutting tiny pieces on the sleeves so it breaks them up. And then using the crease of the scissors, to make it look even more old fashioned and rugged. Now, when you put it in the washing machine, it'll unravel a little bit more, and give it more of a texture. There's not much you can do right now. Alright, so there you have it. This basically went from an ordinary shirt to now it's got style, it's got attitude, you can go punk rock, punk glam, or go to the gym, go to walk, go work out. You can do anything you want."
