Step by step

How it goes

  1. 01

    Mark handles and base 7 min

    Lay the shirt flat and mark symmetrical cutting lines.

    Use non-toxic materials, protect the work surface, keep small or sharp items away from children, and use adult supervision where indicated.

  2. 02

    Cut the shape 7 min

    Remove sleeves and neckline, then cut even fringe.

  3. 03

    Tie and test 7 min

    Knot the base securely and test with lightweight items.

Listen to your body: stop if anything hurts, and check with a doctor if you have a health condition.
