Dingle
Dangle (upcycle) Shirt
A long
sleeve winter shirt to a cool summer top!!
We are
loving this top!! As summer is here and I doubt that Serena will fit into this
shirt next winter, so we decided to get more wear out of it.
Here are
some easy to follow instruction on how to make this amazing summer top
The first step was to unpick the hem just to give you a
little more length and when tying its eaiser without that extra bulk.
I then measured out 2cm width strips (approximately 20-25cm
long) right around the base of the shirt
(how easy is this so far!!)
Now I pass it onto my daughter to finish off
Serena cuts
carefully along each marked line all the way around (some were a bit wonky but
in the end it wasn’t noticeable)
The next
step was for her to pair up and tie the fringed lengths together
When she has
gone around once we started on the second row.
Leaving
about a 2cm gap she tied one fringe from each of the pairs together to get a ‘diamond’
gap.
Then we repeated
that step again for the third row
Volla we
have now a great little summer top !!
P.S. We also
cut the sleeves short. Serena didn’t want them fringed so we just cut them to
the length she wanted.
Here is another one we did but didn't cut the strips as long and tied colour beads on the ends
