| DIY braided tank with fringe |
So after going crazy with the tie dye kit I am left with a bunch of bright colored tshirts....what to do with them?
Well I decided to try making a braided tank! Perfect for summer :)
Let me know if you have any questions about the process or what you think...just leave a comment!
 |
| cut two slits down the middle about 3inches |
 |
| fold the shirt down the middle of the back and draw a line as your base and cut (only the back) |
 |
| cut the three strips all the way down until it starts to curve out |
 |
| after cutting three strips it should look like this |
 |
| stretch each strip |
 |
| once done stretching braid down the center of the back |
 |
| braid down the middle |
 | |
| cut three 3inch strips on each side of the braid and leave about 1 inch between |
 |
| cut off the 1 inch strips and cut the three inch strips into 3 sections |
 | ||
| once finished braiding you sew each braid to the middle braid |
 |
| cut off only the sleeves and collar around the seams but keep front and back attached (lower left corner) |
 | |||
| cut what is left into three strips and braid both sides and attach to middle braid in the back! |
 |
| with the leftover sleeve material I cut it into strips for fringe on the front of the tank |
 |
| ta-daaaa!! |
Please leave a comment if you have any questions, requests, or just let me know what you think!!

I LOVE this, great idea! I am working on mine now, I got to the sewing part and I got two braids sewn to the middle braid and quit lol, I am going to finish but I HATE to sew!! Thank you for the great idea though!

Deletethis is insanely adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I'm glad you liked :)
Deletewhat the hell type of bra are you supposed to wear with this?
ReplyDeleteI personally wear my tank with my bathing suit to the beach :) you can easily visit any Victoria's Secret or for half the price a Walmart for that matter and get a sticky bra or a backless bra. I hope this helped your understanding of what type of bra to wear with a backless shirt. Your Welcome! :) Thank you for your comment!
DeleteYou look so adorable in that. Unfortunately for me IDK if people appreciate seeing a sz 10 in jeans mom wearing that! )= Too bad no one showed me this when I had your figure! LOL Did you come up with the pattern by yourself or did this come with your tye-dye kit?
