Turn a Shirt into a Wrap

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

The trick to this easy DIY project is choosing the right shirt. For a grungy look, go with something casual. For an upscale wrap, choose a blouse with a classy design, or made of fine materials like satin, and be sure to hem the edges.

You Will Need:

• A button-down shirt, either long or short sleeved
• Scissors [recommended scissors]
• Measuring tape
• Chalk

To make a wrap, you will first need to measure the cut.

Thanks to DIY Fashion reader Justin Harris for suggesting this look.
