Cut Up the Back of your T-Shirt - Simple DIY Tutorial
Reconstruct old, boring t-shirts by cutting strips into a "V" shape on the back of your t-shirt and making a sexy V. Just learn the basic weave and it's super easy! Your own diy style shirt :)

No sewing required, you just need a pair of fabric scissors.

Step 1Cut the neckline


Start off by prepping the neckline.

Decide how you'd like to cut the neck off - Follow the original seam so your cut will be even. Cut 1in wider than the original neckline for a roundneck. Cut 1.5-2in wider than original neckline for a wide, boatneck or off the shoulder neckline. Do not cut more than that because when you stretch the fabric it becomes much larger than you expect.

LOVE IT.
I actually messed up and cut the front too but I left it as it was on the front and weaved the back and I loved it.

I used a white tee that I had already tie dyed.
