DIY: Fringe Top


I've always find fringe tops pretty nice; it somehow reminds me of Pocahontas, don't ask me why. But I never actually thought of getting one for myself. Let me show you a few pretty fringe tops.



These are nice to pull off with a simple denim shorts and gladiator sandals for a day out in a weather like Malaysia. So while I was cleaning up my closet for old clothes to be given away or sold off, I came upon this particular top and wondered if I could make a fringe top out of it. And the top isn't very expensive, so even if it end up looking like crap it's still alright haha.

Ok, so all you need is:
1. An unwanted top
2. A pair of cloth scissors
3. Ruler (Optional unless you want your fringe to be really straight)

 Okay, this is my choice of top.

A pair of cloth scissors 

 Make measurements. We don't want to over-cut your top. Just make sure to wear the top and see how long you want your fringe to be. I've also decided to cut off the sleeves since fringe top always looks nicer being sleeveless or short sleeves.

And start snipping away. You can do it faster by cutting the front and back together, but if you're afraid of the alignment and all then you can cut the front first then the back. It is all up to you :)

 Okay, end result! I am super satisfied with this :) Honestly, there was one major mistake that I did while cutting the fringe. One of the side is missing one fringe, so it looks a little bald there. But it's a fringe top! It's suppose to look a little messy and I don't think anyone would want to count or stare at those fringes that long right? And I don't think anyone can see it until I tell them so. And I'm telling it to you right now, so when you see me wearing that top please make sure you don't stare at the error haha

Paired it with denim shorts and strapped sandals from Korea! 

There you go :) An old top being transformed.

Anyways, that's it for now. Will have more DIYs coming right up.
