- Use some extra ribbon or t-shirt cuttings to make two 4” long, 1” wide strips. Tie these around the shoulders of the tank to create smaller shoulder straps.
- If your shirt is still too loose after lacing it up, never fear; simply unlace the sides and try again. Set your strips aside and cut another inch off of each side. Make new holes down each side and lace it up again.
- If you’ve made your shirt too small, don’t worry. Loosen the strips on each side to create a loosely-laced look that shows some skin on each side. If you’re not comfortable with showing that much skin, then this is the perfect opportunity to flaunt your layering skills. Wear a long-sleeved or baby doll shirt underneath that compliments your new t-shirt tank. Try to match the shirt underneath to the logo on your t-shirt.
- Remember, you can use the discarded sleeve to make cute sleeve headbands.
