Who hates wearing boyfriend tees?

They’re comfortable, warm, cozy, and romantic as well.

And isn’t it even cooler if you can get a chic halter top from your boyfriend’s t-shirts in a few minutes?

It feels intimidating to pick up a pair of scissors and begin slicing a t-shirt. But we’ll let you know how you can work with your boyfriend’s tee and make an incredibly looking halter neck you can put on while having fun in a café or on the beach.

To make this beautiful gorgeous halter tee you’ll require the following:

A pair of scissors.

A medium-sized men’s t-shirt.

Chalk.

The essential part of the activity is having that men’s t-shirt. So make sure you steal one from your boyfriend and ensure you steal the best-looking one. With that you’ll be well-poised for success – well begun is half done.

The following are the detailed steps of how to go about it:

Step I: Place it on a flat surface and pick chalk.

Step II: Mark the lines as you can see in the picture.

Step III: Begin cutting as you follow the drawn line.

Step IV: After completing the front side, turn the tee and mark the backside. Take care not to shred the front part of your tee. I know you don’t want that.

Step V: Cut and discard the cone-shaped cloth from the back, following the pictures.

Step VI: Cut according to the dotted lines, and you get the straps you’ll tie to the back.

Step VII: Twist the strips after a little tug. This twisting helps prevent the tee from sagging at the back allowing it to fit tightly.

Step VIII: Pull the straps at the front and criss-cross them, wrap around them the neck, and then tie properly.

It’s just awesome how you can come up with a nice top from a guy’s tee! Try it and inform us how it worked for you. Good luck!

Plain tees are great things to wear- can be paired with sooo many things, are great for color blocking and are absolutely versatile. But if you are going to wear plain tees does not mean they have to be boring! You can spruce up a neglected tee in the blink of an eye, and it will be new all over again. So get your t shirts ( not just plain ones, just about any t-shirt you want to revamp) while we show you how to make your very own braided neck tee shirt, and then click lots of pictures with your guy because you’ll be looking really cute wearing your “new top”..!! Here we go!

You’ll need

A Tee-Shirt

Scissors

Coordinating Thread and Needle

Chalk

Here are your Detailed Steps

Step I : Lay out your old tee flat on the surface

Step II : Start by marking the slits you have to cut. You can go freehand here too, but if you’re doing it for the first time, it would be a good idea to mark them with a chalk. Its not a science experiment, so don’t worry too much about being accurate.

Step III : We have marked approximately 2-inch slits placed a little under an inch apart. The length of the slits and the distance between them will change the thickness of the “braid”. Cut the first slit half the length of the others, because all the pulling will enlarge it a bit.

Step IV: Once all the slits are cut, we begin the braiding. It’s really simple, and if you think you have gone wrong, just begin again. To braid, take the strip # 2 and push it under strip #1. Pull the loop that is formed in the direction of the slits and push strip # 3 inside the loop, and so on.

Step V : Braid all the loops and fasten the final loop to the t-shirt with a thread. If you find a little hole near the first loop, stitch it up a little.

Step VI : Don’t worry if it looks bunched up, because it is a part of the look. The top will fit you perfectly!

So go ahead, bring out your magic wand and transform plain tees by braiding them. Once you get the technique, you can braid the sleeves too! Have fun running scissors over your tees. And till then, keep it chic!
