Use scissors to cut fabric to continue cutting off the collar of the t-shirt.

Hold and stretch shirt shoulders. This helps the edges of the cut line curl up on the shirt.

Use a tape measure to measure the distance from the shoulder line to the waist. You need to cut the shirt a little longer than the waist so that the hem of the shirt curls up at the waist and not too short.

Mark the measurement position on the shirt with a cloth chalk or pen.

Use scissors to cut a horizontal line at the position marked on the shirt. Putting the shirt on the flat surface is easiest to cut.

Drag so that the edge of the cut curl.

Cut the sleeves. Start at a point below 2.5cm from your armpits and cut up above the collar. Do not remove the cut hand.

Cut off the collar if desired. Cut at the contour so that the shoulders are even.

Pull the cut edge to roll.

• Optional: Place the front of the shirt down a flat surface. Grab the fabric on the back from the sides of your armpits into the center of your shirt.
• Optional: Cut a long piece of fabric from the sleeve and wrap it around the snap that fits. Tie a knot tight and tuck it inside the fabric to be wrapped.

Choose a body position you want to show off. For example, you can make a cut with a razor blade on the back of a shirt.

Cut several parallel horizontal lines on the shirt using the razor blade or paper knife. You can cut lines of equal length or cut a long line at the top and, in turn, cut shorter lines below to create a triangular effect.

Use scissors to cut off the hem of the sleeves.

Then cut a line from under the sleeve up to the shoulder line.

Tie the cut edges right below the sleeve. This knot will make a lovely little hole.

Completed! Your shirt has added stylized sleeves. advertisement

Advice

• Practice cutting with old T-shirts first so you don't have to worry about damaging the shirt.
• Feel free to get creative for a variety of new cuts. You can either cut off the shoulders, or cut the fringes and tie them with colored strings.
• Buy t-shirts in different colors at the second hand store to save money. Note that your goal is to cut the shirt so it's okay if there is a little stain on the shirt.

Warning

• You can always cut a variety of styles, but you can't make the shirt look the same. Don't cut your shirt until you know exactly what you want to do.
