DIY T-Shirt Cutting Designs

Here Are Some Quick DIY’s On How To Cut T-shirts:

I’m sure you’ve tried the different t-shirt cutting ideas by cutting old t-shirts and experimenting with different styles, hence here are 27 different ways:

1. Simply Sleeveless:

A simple hack : Pick up an old t-shirt, cut the sides of the t-shirt all the way down and leave some 4-5 inches from below. You can decide the width of the shoulder strap you want and cut accordingly. Stretch your cuts so that the fabric doesn’t look like its cut unevenly.

2. Crop Tops:

This one is my ultimate favourite. Crop tops are definitely the biggest trend out there and making one with the existing tees is even easier.

To execute this DIY project idea, first, cut t-shirt sleeves by the hemline to restore that crop top grunge. Next, widen that neckline, by simply cutting it from being a round neck to more of a boat neck. Now, cut short the length. While cutting the hem, let the sides be shorter and the front longer. Always remember to stretch the cuts you’ve made, for it to look crafty and original.

3. A Winged Back:

This isn’t really for beginners but you could try. DIY projects like this one, need some practice and patience too.

Get an old t-shirt, a marker and a pair of scissors to make this dragon fly back tee shirt on your own. With your marker, draw the stencil of the dragon on the back of your tee shirt. If you aren’t confident about your drawing skills, then print out a picture from the internet and trace it out. With a comfortably held pair of scissors, cut the design one by one. Be careful with the edges because we don’t want them looking messy. This t-shirt cutting pattern is surely for the more artistic one’s who want to fly high wearing a pair of wings on their t-shirt.

4. Tie-Up Crop Top:

A cute way to cut a t-shirt will be to turn it around into a tie up crop top that will instantly elevate your chic quotient. Start with ripping the sleeves. If you are still unsure of how to cut the sleeves off the t-shirt evenly, then just take a marker and draw the cuts first. You can do the same for the hem and the neck. Make those lines on your t-shirt as shown in the picture. Remember to cut the hem making that V-shape as shown in the picture. One cut in the middle will render those tie-ups.

5. Cut-Out Neck Pattern:

If you like to play some peek-a-boo, then here’s an interesting way to cut a t shirt, by cutting out the neck yoke to create a high street look. Start with drawing an outline of the cut you want to make around the neckline and the arms, and then get cutting. Take your time to meet that designer finesse.

6. Bow-Back T-Shirts:

This T-shirt cutting pattern will let you do the new backless, playing it upside down. Instead of wearing a deep V, wear it the reverse way, showing off your lower back. To do a bow-shaped back, start with making a horizontal slit on the back of your t-shirt from one end to the other. Cut out and widen up the neck too. Then gather the piece from the center, pulling together the neck and the horizontal cut in the middle of the back to create that bow.

7. Strap Back:

With boyfriend fit being the rage, borrow a loose t-shirt from your guy or your brother and opt for this cool look. Cut out a deep v-neck at the back of the t-shirt. Then, cut stretchable elastic material or another piece of fabric and sew them into those gaps. We suggest you opt for brighter shades for the straps to stand out.

8. Blade Cut:

It is as simple as it sounds. Just mark your territory and get cutting. You can try different shapes and styles like in this one where one is horizontal and the other vertical, both look equally great. This one’s surely the easiest of all the t-shirt cutting designs.

9. Shoulder Cut:

This is one creative t-shirt pattern that requires precision. If gone wrong, it will ruin your efforts and the t-shirt too. Start, with cutting along the sleeves, the shoulder, the neck and then the other sleeve, exactly in the same order. Make equal cuts, as too much gap will not look aesthetic.
