D.I.Y Fringe Crop

Before


Before cutting, try on shirt and eyeball where you would like the fringe to start. Its not necessary to give you an exact measurement because everyone feels differently about how much skin they would like their crop tee-shirt to show. Once you have that figured out place a strip of duck tape or masking tape where you want the fringe to start. This will ensure all your cuts are even and you don't accidentally cut up any farther into your shirt.

After you put on the tape you can begin to cut the bottom half of the shirt which will essentially become the fringe. Make sure you have a sharp pair of scissors preferably ones that are used only for fabric. The thinner you cut your strips of fabric, the more fringe you'll have hanging so keep that in mind. After you have finished cutting the shirt take each individual strip of fabric and give it a slight stretch. Be careful not to pull the strips too hard or you'll rip them right off the shirt!( I learned this the hard way! haha)

Ta Dahhh The final product!! This is a perfect look for those upcoming outdoor music events. Alive at 5 (Albany), and Rocking on the River (troy). I would pair this up with a brightly colored/ patterned high-waisted short or skirt.
