Supplies needed
It's easy to find a Hawaiian shirt to use for this project.  Any thrift shop in any town has at least 5 on any given day. People buy them and wear them once or twice and then clean their closet. You will need another cotton shirt for the lining. Sewing machine, thread, pins, scissors, measuring tape. I found some magnetic closures that are easy to attach but velcro can also be used. Also you will need 4 metal rings. I used gold colored key rings that are 1" wide.
