Sassy halter collars can jazz up a plain old t-shirt in no time. So, dig into your stash of scrap fabric, or find some lace or ribbon.\n

Make sure you sew on a patch on both sides and not just around the neck for the best possible outcome!\n

2. No-Sew DIY Cut-Shirt\n

Plain old shirts don\u2019t have to be boring. With a pair of scissors, you can upcycle your old shirts into something trendy and cool.\n

3. Bleached Stencil Shirts\n

Do you want this bleached shirt with that stenciled pattern on it?\n

First, lay out some newspapers before you get started because this DIY project might get messy. Next, you\u2019ll need a spray bottle to mix a solution of one part bleach and one part water.\n

Please be careful when you\u2019re handling bleach!\n

4. DIY Ruffle Shirt\n

I love a good one-shoulder shirt, don\u2019t you? But what\u2019s really cute here are those ruffles.\n

Would you believe me if I told you that this girly shirt used to be a basic men\u2019s sized shirt?\n

Now all you have to do is grab your fabric scissors and the roll of elastic band. In under 30 minutes, you\u2019ll have a new shirt to wear on your next night out.\n

5. Criss Cross Shirt\n

With summer just around the corner, you\u2019ll want to bring out your summer clothes from hibernation. T-shirts are a staple, but they don\u2019t need to be a monotonous staple.\n

Here\u2019s a criss-cross cut to try out on your own tees. It\u2019s not as complicated as it looks, but you\u2019ll want a good pair of fabric scissors and some tailor\u2019s chalk.\n

6. Workout Shirt\n

You can never have too many shirts for when you hit the gym. But I always feel like my gym clothes are baggy and unattractive.\n

If I had any toned muscles, they\u2019d hardly be flattering in these old rags. Nothing says chic like this casual racerback t-shirt to add some character and flair to a plain old baggy gym shirt.\n

Don\u2019t forget to save a strip of the fabric to make a matching headband!\n

7. T-Shirt Market Bag\n

I hate having to pay those extra cents to buy plastic bags at the grocery store. They\u2019re such a waste and not at all eco-friendly or biodegradable.\n

I think this upcycled bag out of old t-shirts is the perfect solution. You get to re-use them; just pop them into the washer, and they come out clean as a whistle.\n

Plus, they\u2019re sustainable and eco-friendly: a win-win!\n

8. Recycled Skull T-Shirt\n

Is Halloween around the corner? No? So you just want to wear a skull t-shirt? You know what, that\u2019s actually pretty cute.\n

Let\u2019s get started. Find a washable marker to help you draw the eye sockets, nose holes, and that toothy grin. Next, find your pair of sturdy fabric scissors and get cutting.\n

It\u2019s a little risque to wear on its own, so don\u2019t forget to layer it with another t-shirt.\n

9. Boxy Crop Top From An Oversized Tee\n

Crop tops on a summer\u2019s day are as perfect as hot chocolate is on a cold winter\u2019s evening. So grab the measuring tape and find a flat work area.\n

If you\u2019ve got a t-shirt with a design upfront, be careful not to cut it off halfway. You can always give your crop top some curvy layers if it means you don\u2019t distort the design.\n

Hey, why not go for the frayed-crop look? I bet they\u2019d look perfect with denim cut-offs.\n

10. Out With The Old, In With The New and Upcycled\n

I\u2019m all for t-shirt dresses and crop tops. If you tell me that I don\u2019t have to spend a pretty penny to get either one, I\u2019m all in.\n

Do you have some color-coordinated designs in mind and a flair for bringing those colors together to make a modern and chic outfit?\n

Then this is the perfect upscaling project for you.\n

11. Off-Shoulder Eyelet Top\n

I honestly can\u2019t believe that you can make a gorgeous blouse from an old black tee, but there you have it.\n

You\u2019ll need to buy this kit to help you with that row of eyelets running along the neck of this shirt. You\u2019ll also need to save the scraps of fabric you cut off your shirt.\n

12. Peek-A-Boo Lace T-Shirt\n

A lace-sectioned bodice does wonders for a boring old tee. And, here\u2019s how you do exactly that.\n

It all comes down to the lace you use. For just five bucks, you\u2019ve got everything you\u2019ll need for this DIY refashioning project.\n

Why not give a thin trim of lace around the armholes while you\u2019re at it?\n

13. No-Sew Bow-Sleeve T-Shirt\n

I\u2019ve always held a secret fascination with bow sleeves. They\u2019re such a cute way to turn a plain old t-shirt into a fashion statement.\n

14. T-Shirt To Tank Top\n

This project is all about the skill you have with cutting fabric. But, at the end of the day, even if your edges are frayed, just call it grungy-chic, and you\u2019d still have a fabulous tank top.\n

For the best possible cut and clean edges, use a sewing machine. Take a few safety pink or fabric pins and pin the flaps in place while you sew the edges and seams.\n

15. DIY Off The Shoulder T-Shirt\n

Here\u2019s another no-sew reconstruction project for you to try: off-the-shoulder t-Shirts! I love off-shoulder blouses, but I never find that right fit, and they never stay, well, off the shoulders.\n

Perhaps making one, or rather, upcycling one from an old shirt is the solution.\n

16. DIY No-Sew Crop Top\n

Crop tops are really in vogue right now, just like upcycled clothes. So, when you\u2019re choosing a shirt to crop for this project, just make sure you pick something flowy.\n

It\u2019ll help you get that perfect amount of sway when you move and does wonders to keep you cool on a hot summer afternoon.\n

17. DIY Macrame Halter Tee\n

Check out that snazzy back on that t-shirt. Who would have thought that you could do macrame on the back of a tee?\n

You\u2019ll need a grid-cutting mat to help you measure and cut off the back of your tee into thread-like strips.\n

Maybe, just maybe, with this trendy tee, I\u2019d be motivated to hit the gym.\n

18. DIY Muscle Tank\n

I might not have muscles, but by God, I\u2019ll have a dozen muscle t-shirts in every color possible in my closet. Also, this one has a no-sew pattern, doesn\u2019t require elaborate cutting, and has no long-drawn-out sewing project.\n

All you need are a pair of scissors, measuring tape, fabric glue, tailor\u2019s chalk, and one soft, billowy t-shirt. But, of course, you\u2019ve already got all that in your sewing kit.\n

19. DIY Rug From T-Shirt Strips\n

Forget making shirts out of shirts. I\u2019m moving on and trading up to these funky floor rugs. The possibilities are endless.\n

I can already see it: dozens of coasters, pot holders, table runners, placemats, rugs, and\u2026maybe even a full-sized throw! If it means tearing up all the shirts in my closet, then so be it.\n

20. No-Sew Tote Bag\n

Don\u2019t you think these tote bags are perfect for taking with you to the beach? They\u2019re big and roomy: you can slip in a couple of beach towels, sunscreen, some snacks, and a good book.\n

Speaking of books, why not use them as book bags? If you\u2019ve got t-shirts with funky images printed on them, or beautiful patterns, I bet they\u2019d look even better as a bag.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
