DIY tank top

 These are all the different styles you can make with this DIY tank! Kudos to Chubster for picking out that amazing jacket!


1. Get an old tank of yours. It doesn't have to be a racer back but it looks a lot better. It also doesn't have to be white either.
2. Measure 1.5 inches and then make a small dot around 1 cm. away from the hem. This will be to mark down what you cut.
3. Make a 1 cm line to show how wide you are going to cut. Be sure to use pencil for this or else the mark will show. Also the measurement depends on the width of your ribbon.
4. Now cut the small lines with your scissors
5. Iron your ribbon, ONLY IF IT NEEDS IT. You see, my ribbon is more of a  cotton fabric. If you have a satin ribbon DON't iron it or else it will melt into a hard piece of plastic...
6. Weave in your ribbon and leave 16.5 inches off
7. Do the same to the other side
8. Start tying a bow the rabbit ear style ;D but make sure not to tie it so tight that the holes stretch out
9. It should look like this with the bow hanging down
10. Now cut the excess bow to the same length and your are done! You can always add your own style to it. You cut off all the excess bow and sew it on the tank. You can add a little sparkle by sewing on sequence, anything you want really! It will just make your DIY tank a little more "Y"
