no-sewing t-shirt customizations and bracelet

Hello!
I've been watching here for a while now, but this is my first post :)
Just thought I'd share my first attempts at t-shirt reconstruction/customization that doesn't require any sewing.


The ideas behind the shirts came from t-shirt re-con videos on youtube mostly - I used the ideas and did my own thing with them. I'd recommend checking out Kat Von D's t-shirt video, as well as itsblitzzz's channel, and a few other vids on youtube...

Anyway, this red top was a t-shirt that was too big for me, so I cut it up. Now I can wear it a couple of different ways depending on what parts I tie:




Once again, this Slipknot shirt was baggy and ill-fitting on me, so I cut it up. There is no tying involved in this one - I used a stretched piece of another old red shirt as string to 'lace up' the sides.


And this stripy shirt was a singlet/tank top to begin with, but was just way too big for me, so I used Kat Von D's method but tied up the sides instead...
From the front:

And the sides...


I also found some beads which I hadn't used since childhood, and decided to make a quick and easy bracelet out of them!!



I really love the unicorn beads I came across!!!

Anyway, sorry about all the pics. That's all from me!
