DIY Fringe Crochet Shirt

Mike and I decided to join our friends on a last minute trip to San Francisco this weekend for Outsidelands Music Festival at Golden Gate Park. My friends and I have an ongoing love for tie dye so it's only fitting that I makeover an old tie dye tank. It's inexpensive and relatively easy, and the result will be perfect festival attire!


Supplies:

Long Tank (mine is American Apparel)

Ruler

Scissors

Pen or chalk

Step 1: Measure how high up you desire your fringe to start from the bottom of your shirt hem. Dot with pen or chalk as a guide. Cut strips of fabric up to your mark, about 3/8" to a 1/2" wide, all the way around the circumference of your hem.



Step 2: Knot two pieces of fringe together near top of cut. Repeat around the circumference of shirt.


Step 3: There will be two strands of fringe hanging from each know. Take one strand from one knot, and a second strand from adjacent knot, and tie together using same technique as Step 2.



Step 4: Repeat Step 3, creating a third row of knots around circumference of shirt. Once complete, trim fringe to desired length.



Ready to wear!!
