Instructions

  1. Small diy bow top 0001 1298706985

    *Try to avoid using a shirt that's one or two sizes larger. For best results, aim for a shirt that fits nicely.

  2. Small diy bow top 0002 1298707080

    Flip it over to the backside.

  3. Small diy bow top 0003 1298707119

    Mark lines 3" apart, & 6" long. *You do not need to follow my measurements. You can cut it longer or shorter if you wish.

  4. Small diy bow top 0004 1298707146

    Cut along those marks/lines. After you cut, you should now have 3" wide sections.

  5. Small diy bow top 0005 1298707172

    Take the first section...

  6. Small diy bow top 0006 1298707300

    Gather the section at the center. It should sort of look like a bow.

  7. Small diy bow top 0007 1298707325

    For the fabric/ribbon, you can use ribbon, cut off the hem of the T-shirt, OR you can use the sleeves. Repeat on all the other sections.
