♥ Cutout sleeves

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Because my closet here in Santa Monica is a lot smaller than the one in San Francisco, I made it a point to go through all my clothes and put the pieces I don't wear very often aside for my lil hermana (and then donate the rest to Goodwill).  There were a couple tops I was debating on keeping so I ended up hanging on to them so I could have a lil fun with some scissors.  Cutting out shirts is a great way to experiment the capabilities of a pair of scissors.  

This type of project is truly the quintessential DIY because it is simple enough for anyone to make, you don't have to get any special supplies, and it really catches the eye.  I hope you give it a go and make this hot new trend of cut outs yourself! The possibilities are endless with a shirt and a pair of scissors...
