Turn your tee shirt into a tank top!
Do you have an old tee shirt that you never wear but you want to wear it? Well here is your solution. Turn it into a great beach tank top or to work out in.

What you'll need:
1. Scissors - Make sure they are really sharp. Fabric scissors or tool scissors.
2. Ribbon (not needed)
What to do:
1. Lay the tee shirt flat on the floor or on a table. (just make sure it is a flat surface)
3. Take the left sleeve you just cut off and line it up with the right sleeve. You want to do this to make sure the cut is the same size and width. Make sure the seams of the shoulders are lined up before cutting.
4. Cut off the right sleeve.
5. Now we are going to cut off the neck. Depending on how thick you want the straps to be cut close to the neck line or away from the neck time. (You always want to cut less than more so you can adjust as you want to.) Once you have decided on where to cut, cut the neck off to the middle. Then STOP.
6. Once you get to the middle stop and then fold over the part of the neck that you cut and line it up with the other side. You want do this step to ensure it is even.
7. Cut the rest of the neck off.
8. Now cut off the bottom of the shirt. If you want to show off your tummy then cut higher up on the shirt. If you do not want to show any tummy then cut as close to the bottom seam.
9. Cut off extra fabric off the sleeve. I used the fabric that is in between the shoulder and seam because it'll give you a long piece to work with. Now that you have a long piece of fabric, run it through your hand to make it curl up.
Instead of using the shirt fabric you can use ribbon!!
10. Use the rope or ribbon to tie the back straps together. If you want a hole in middle of the shirt then tie it up higher. If you do not want a hole then tie is lower. Before you tie it really tight try on the tank to make sure its in a position that you like. I tied mine about three times really really tight then I used the rest to make a bow. You can just leave it and it'll hang down.
11. Wash and dry your tank once to allow the edges to curl up and look flowy.
12. Enjoy your new beach tank or work out tank! :)
