Who wouldn't rather make a sexy spring and summer ready shirt out of an old shirt than buy a new one? With materialistic fashionistas excluded, saving money and materials is a generally popular concept—regardless of one's green allegiances—or lack thereof. So for my DIY t-shirt this week, I turned an old (yet awesome) too big t-shirt into a cute little thang—and, like all of these DIY t-shirts; I did it just with a pair of scissors. If you want to get this crossed back look yourself, you'll probably be shocked at how simple it is to make.
How to turn your t-shirt into a crossed back shirt:
Locate your shirt and cut off the sleeves.

Cut the back into a V shape and then cut vertically up the 'strap' section. Just like the picture.

Cut a straight line across the V shape.

Cut two small holes on either side of the shirt just below the arm holes.

Cross the straps and tie each end into the hole diagonal from it.

Have fun wearing this number. Try not to mind the cat calls you'll get—it comes with the territory of wearing something this cute.
