How to Upcycle Old T-Shirts :: 7 No-Sew T-Shirt Hacks and Transformations
As I’m cleaning my closet for the summer and organizing my clothes, I found a few t-shirts that I no longer wear. Today I’ll be sharing 7 easy, no sew DIY projects with old t-shirts. These are eco-friendly ways to upcycle old clothing. Learn how to make a cloth face mask, curl your hair, and bleach dye your shirts.
0:11 - DIY Cloth Face Mask
Since face coverings are essential in public in California, I wanted to share an easy way to make a mask from an old t-shirt. You can also pair this with a PPE face mask or be able to match your mask with your outfit.
1:06 - Heatless Curls
The secret to my loose voluminous waves is actually from curling my hair with a t-shirt! This is the best, heatless way to curl hair. Shampoo and condition as usual. Comb wet hair and begin wrapping with fabric. Section hair into 3-4 parts, depending how much hair you have. Wrap 1 inch sections around a long piece of fabric and tie off with an elastic at the end. Allow to fully air dry. Slowly unwrap when dry.
2:25 - Front Tie Top
Make a simple self tie front top for summer! Simply cut your t-shirt in half. Wrap the two ends around your bra. Tie into a knot to secure.
3:08 - Twisted Top
3:39 - Bleach Dye Top #1 (Pastel)
Most permanent dyes have been sold out online or on back stock. Create a similar look using bleach.
Wet your cotton tee, apply bleach in sections, and rinse out after 30 minutes. Wash with soap and dry fully before wearing!
