I'm back to my, 'tired of old clothes, so let's make 'em new' phase.  I haven't stopped.  No sleep.  Just coffee, laptop, material and craft supplies.

Considering a few sleepless nights, this DIY rocker crop top can be done in 3 steps!

What you will need:
-any old top
-fringe (or tassels whatever you perfer)
-long (measure the width of your top), thin piece of material (I used a delicate fabric belt that came with a shirt I bought a while ago)
-no sew fabric glue (I swear by Unique Stitch!)

Step 1: (No sew) glue your fringe to the longer piece of material

Step 2: You have 2 options

Option 1: If the material chosen is leather or even a color to create color blocking, you could no sew it right on to the shirt.  If you choose this option then you are done in 2 steps.  Seriously.

Option 2: I slit a small line where I wanted the fringe to start.  No sewed it to the inside material.




Step 3: (optional) Once dried, use a thin layer of no sew (once again), to make sure the fabric is bonded to the added material.

That's that.  An adorable, and very trendy shirt made in no time while spending no money!!

DIY.....success.
