    Get and old shirt or a new one, doesn't matter. Mines is thrifted. Now take your shirt and create rips and tares in it with an exacto knife or razor. Do it up any way you want. Just be sure you don't make any tares where your putting your cross!

  4. Small dsc 0010 1294357716

    Now the fun part. Make holes by using your finger to stretch out the tares you made. You can make them as big as you please. Once again, don't make your tares bug enough to the point where you cant glue your cross on!
