So, we’ve been loving all the holey tops all over the place lately -- but not the price tags. But making one yourself is a really great DIY project. It involves no sewing and minimal concentration; you can even make it in the evening while watching TV or on a rainy Sunday when all you want to do is stay inside. We started with a thrifted tee in size XL, so it works with all of the loose-fitting trends going on right now. After a quick trip through the wash (a must for all thrifted items!) we are ready to start! You will need:

- T-shirt in a loose-fitting size

- Permanent marker
- Sharp pair of scissors
