DIY: 3 Ways to Jazz up a T-shirt

So this is a special DIY because it's three-in-one. I love finding different ways to take a plain old t-shirt or tank top and jazzing it up. Here are just 3 ideas to try:

First: Put a Pocket on it!

1. Find t-shirt any color or size.

2. Find a pattern you like and draw a pocket (draw it bigger so you have room to cut)

3. Sew it on the t-shirt.

Now.. Wear it!

Second: Cut it & Bead it

1. Find a t-shirt that is fairly larger so you can cut it into a tank top.

2. Fold it hand. Cut the about two inches off the bottom and cut the sleeves off.

3. Cut strips at the bottom of the shirt about one inch a part

4. Grab some colorful beads

5. Thread the beads through the cut strips at the bottom of the shirt. Then tie a knot.

Now... Sport it!

Third & Final: Button up

1. Get a tank top (You can use a t-shirt but I wanted to use a tank top instead)

2. Grab some buttons

3. Place the buttons how you want, then sew them on to the shirt. I started from one corner and worked my way out.

Now... Show it off

NYLON Challenge: T-Shirt TIME!!!

Nylon (Kate Bosworth) March 2011

Nylon (Vanessa Hudgens ) April 2011

OK. So this was a fairly easy Nylon Challenge, but it being my first one I thought I would start off with something easy.

In two Nylon issues they had a special on graphic/designed t-shirts. I feel like t-shirts should be simple and cheap. Well in both magazines (March 2011 & April 2011) the shirts ranged from $20 - $265. That's right $265.00 human dollars for a t-shirts. No pants to go with it, no necklace or shoes, just a t-shirt.

OUTRANGE!

I understand some of these t-shirts were designer shirts. But no one in their right mind will pay $265 for a shirt. And most people can't afford that!

So here are t-shirts that are just as amazing all found at Salvation Army:

All the shirts above range from $1.00 - $7.00

HINT: Want a really cool graphic t-shirts? Head to the men's section.

Then you can find a larger size, cut them however you would like.

Here are two I actually bought:

Due to these actually being on sale: both coast me one dollar.
