DIY Trends ~ Fringing ~ Crop Top ~ T-Shirt Project

 

Fringing and distressing, the Crop Top

A Trend to try before the summer ends, the crop top and some fringing (although fringing seems to be continuing into the Autumn) great festival trend read my Festival Fashion post here

After a lovely twitter chat with fellow blogger Jordan C of thestyleselections.com and comparing festival fashion I thought of this DIY project.

I have lots of plain black tees lying around so I thought to vamp one up! Why not??

 

To Distress:

Soak in salt water, softens the t-shirt (not necessary but I wondered what all this was about)

 

Bleach splatters, I went a bit overboard with the bleach but I think it works. I just used the ordinary bleach you use to clean the bathroom costs around 80c.                            

I just love the firey colours of the bleach on black!

I also cut off the collar and shortened the sleeves.

Fringing:

This just requires a scissors, a steady hand and patience.

So chop chop.

 

Then I tied some knots to create a pattern and give the illusion of length to my new Crop Top!

Perfect top for the Indian summer we have been promised or to wear to any festival! I styled this with some high waisted denim shorts so as not to show too much skin!
