When I was growing up, I loved to bedazzle my clothes. Ask anyone who knew me between the ages of 13 and 22, and they'll tell you I had an unhealthy obsession with rhinestones. I once bedazzled my high school t-shirts because they were just so plain and unexciting. A little glue and some rhinestones did the trick! ;) Years later, I still have those trusty supplies in my craft storage just in case.
Needless to say, I've always been fascinated with taking clothes and putting your own creative spin on them. Recently, I got lost in a rabbit hole of t-shirt upcycle DIYs on YouTube. It's amazing what a basic, baggy t-shirt can become with a few strategic cuts. I got inspired to try it myself with a couple of t-shirts I picked up from South Florida Strong, a new USF clothing company powered by USF alumni (Go Bulls!) that I stumbled across recently online. While the shirts are soft and great quality, they have a pretty straight fit since they're unisex style, so I thought they could benefit from a little creative cutting.
BEFORE
Using the South Florida Strong shirt and the Bull Strong shirt, I put my YouTube inspiration and a pair of scissors to work! I think they both turned out pretty well, but my favorite is the Bull Strong/black t-shirt. If you try your own DIY, my biggest piece of advice is to use new or very sharp scissors because that makes all the difference in how well the finished product turns out!
AFTER
Check out both of my t-shirt DIYs in the video above and let me know which one is your favorite!
