Welcome or welcome back friends,

As you may know, the 4th of July is just a few days away and I always like to wear something festive for the occasion. It’s that one time a year where we deck ourselves in Stars, Stripes, Red, White, and blue and wear it with pride. Today I wanted to share with your my DIY Project that I worked on with my $7 “Made in the USA” tee I bought at Marshall’s. I loved the tie in the front feature the tee had and the cute saying on the front right hand side but there was something missing to it. I realized that the neckline just wasn’t my style. I always tug at necklines like this because of my larger chest and I decided that I was going to alter it. Watch the video below to see how I changed this cute tee from a scoop neck to a keyhole tee.

What you Need:

• T-shirt
• Scissors (preferably fabric but mine were not, so it can be done with either)
• An instrument that measures your keyhole out (I used a phone case, you can use anything or nothing. It’s up to you.)

Lay your tee out flat in front of you, neckline closest to you.Decide how deep your want your v neck to go before you start. (It helps to try it on and see where would be best on your body, then do that before you begin.)Lift the front part of the neckline up and cut a tiny hole right where the collar ends on each side. You want to do this ONLY on the front of the tee, DO NOT cut anything on the back part of the tee. These holes are to help when you start cutting out your keyhole.Place the bottom part of your scissors into one of the holes and start cutting in a diagonal towards the center of the shirt. Once you’ve reached your center mark, then move to the opposite side and repeat that step there.

Once you v neck is cut out then grab that excess fabric and flip it up towards you. Take your scissors and place them to the bottom side of the collar. Cut that excess fabric off.

Congrats, you now own a DIY Keyhole Tee!

Great job, see how simple that was!? Plus, it makes wearing it so much more personable. No one else has that same exact tee because you made it personal and special for yourself. You can also add embellishments to the tee too to make it even more fun. Now get to work friends!
