DIY: Turn a Men's Tank into a Girly Racerback

Since I've been back in my old room I've been doing a lot more hands-on projects like I used to do back in high school when I had much more time to occupy myself. This got me thinking "Man, I haven't done  D.I.Y. post since the Spinal Tee!" I still love experimenting with tops and t-shirts especially. This little project is great for any oversized tank you might have laying around that hasn't gotten any love recently, and showing off your back is totally acceptable now that spring/summer is upon us!

And so here is another one for you my lovelies!

Twist-Tie Racerback

You'll need an oversized tank (This one's a Men's tank from Hurley) and some scissors.

Lay your tank out.

Cut the side all the way from the bottom to the arm hole.

Repeat on the other side.

It should be split completely.

Flip the tank over to the back and twist the back panel from end-to-end.

Like so.



And twist again.



Cool.



Now take both ends from either side and double knot them at the ends.






Ta-da!! All done! You can make the ties to fit your waist or hips.




Super easy, no? This look is great without anything under it, but go ahead and get creative and layer it how you like! Here I'm wearing a neon racerback bra from Urban Outfitters and a Thrifted Newport maxi skirt.
