Upcycle A Band Tee!
Too small? Make it bigger!

So I had a Tokio Hotel shirt that was getting too small, but I still wanted to wear it.
It had a hole in the collar and was generally, well, getting too small for me.
Using an awesome cut-up back shirt I saw on here, I decided to use it to make this shirt bigger.
Love the outcome!

You Will Need (2 things)
- 1 Band T Shirt
- Fabric Scissors
Steps (8 steps, 30 minutes)

1
Lay out your shirt.
Look at it.
Decide where you want to make your cuts, and grab your scissors. -
2
Does it have a hole in the neckline, like mine?
If so, good. You're gonna cut it off.
Seriously, I still don't know how I got this hole. -
3
Start cutting around the neckline.
Take it right off. -
4
Throw it to the side.
-
5
Now flip it over.
Grab the scissors again, and start cutting long slits.
I stopped about 1 1/2 - 2 inches from the side seams. -
6
Do this all the way up.
Once you're done, cut those slits in half.
Now you're gonna start tying them. -
7
This is kinda hard to explain..
Take the halves from two slits and tie them together tightly.
Again, go all the way up. -

Now you're done!
I think Bill would approve of what I've done to his shirt. :)
