I found this adorable sweatshirt at my local thrift store and I knew I had to add my personal touch to it. I thought this is the perfect opportunity to shred it and show you how easy it is to do. Here’s how to do it:
Materials
1. Sweatshirt (a stretchable material, cotton preferably)
2. Pen
3. Ruler/ Tapemeasure
4. Scissors
Directions
1. Lay your sweatshirt flat on the floor, inside out
2. Fold your shirt in half lengthwise making sure the seams match up
3. Trace out half of a heart on one side of the sweatshirt ( the apex should be on the fold of the sweatshirt)
4. Using your ruler and pen, trace out even horizontal lines from the top to the bottom of the heart
5. Start at the top curve, cut along on all the horizontal lines in your heart
6. Unfold your sweatshirt, stretch out all the shreds (make sure not to pull too hard or the shreds will break)
7. Cut off Collar and stretch opening enough so that top hangs off your shoulder
8. Turn your sweatshirt right side in and rock your sweatshirt
