00:09Hi, I'm Sue from Refinery29. Today I'm going to show you how to transform your plain white tee
00:14into a summer masterpiece using only one white t-shirt and a pair of scissors, two things you
00:19probably already own. Today you'll need a plain white t-shirt. It's best if it's slightly oversized,
00:24a pair of scissors, and 10 to 15 minutes depending on how quick and careful you are.
00:29Next, fold the shirt up about two inches. It doesn't have to be perfect, but the important
00:33thing is that both sides are the exact same length. Once it's folded, you're going to cut a triangle
00:38about a half an inch away from your first side. Once you've cut your first triangle,
00:46you're going to continue every half inch across the entire fold.
00:56Next, fold your t-shirt up so the complete row of diamonds is showing, and you have about
01:01a half an inch below the point of each diamond. Cut a new row of triangles in between the space
01:06left by your first row of diamonds. Keep repeating the same cutting and folding
01:15step until you reach the neckline. It's basically like when you were a kid and cut snowflakes out
01:20of paper. As you can see, it's starting to look pretty cool. As you're cutting, feel free to think
01:26about all the cool outfits you're going to style with your new favorite t-shirts.
01:31This is what it'll look like when you're almost finished. Be extra cautious when you're cutting
01:39around the neckline. You don't want to cut the piece of fabric around your neck. Avoid the sleeves
01:44while you're cutting. The shirt looks better with the sleeves intact. For the tricky parts around the
01:49neckline, you're going to fold the fabric and cut a half an inch above the triangle below.
01:59You're going to tailor your cut so that it can go perfectly around the curve.
02:08You can always clean up your edges later.
02:12Cut just up until the neckline sleeves and bottom of the t-shirt, leaving all three intact.
02:18And voila! You have a totally designer looking t-shirt that could be Kenzo, but it actually came from
02:23a three-pack at Target. And now for the fun part, styling it.
