<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">Re-style An Oversized T-Shirt in 10 Easy Steps</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hello to all!! My name is Citlalli, the heart and hands behind Sew Beastly. I am so excited to be here at Punk Projects sharing a very simple</div><div style="text-align: center;">tutorial on how to re-style an oversized t-shirt. Have you ever owned a t-shirt that is just too big for you? Maybe you are like me, and find some</div><div style="text-align: center;">men's t-shirts irresistible? Maybe you found an awesome shirt that doesn't quite fit, you keep telling yourself you will find a way to wear it without</div><div style="text-align: center;">looking like a slob, but that day hasn't arrived yet? I know just the feeling!!! So I came up with this quick and easy way to re-style that dreaded</div><div style="text-align: center;">oversized shirt…..Ready?? Here we go!!</div><a href="-STPtFhq-wxc/Tly87T0Q6BI/AAAAAAAADUw/E01FRR_K-RM/s1600/Before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="267" src="-STPtFhq-wxc/Tly87T0Q6BI/AAAAAAAADUw/E01FRR_K-RM/s320/Before.jpg" width="320"/></a></td></tr>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">**MATERIALS**</div><div style="text-align: center;">-1 oversized t-shirt</div><div style="text-align: center;">-1 well fitting tank top</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Sewing machine</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Water soluble pencil {to make markings on shirt}</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Scissors</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Matching thread</div><div style="text-align: center;">-Pins</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP ONE**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Turn oversized shirt inside out. Lay out the oversized shirt on flat surface, and align the seams. If the shirt is being a pain to align, then make</div><div style="text-align: center;">sure the seams at the top {collar} are the ones that are aligned the best. We won't be messing with those</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-O6mILvxwksY/Tly87g13KlI/AAAAAAAADU0/twyAIs3PpfE/s1600/Step1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="-O6mILvxwksY/Tly87g13KlI/AAAAAAAADU0/twyAIs3PpfE/s320/Step1.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP TWO**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lay out your well fitting tank top on top of the oversized shirt. Make sure the seams for your tank top are aligned as well. My well fitting tank top</div><div style="text-align: center;">was my inspiration for this tutorial</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-1mDBw4TRBbg/Tly87_LRTLI/AAAAAAAADU4/AUHeRrkUXts/s1600/Step2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="-1mDBw4TRBbg/Tly87_LRTLI/AAAAAAAADU4/AUHeRrkUXts/s320/Step2.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP THREE**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Trace the outline of the tank onto the oversized shirt. I like to leave room for error {1.5 - 2 inches} Remember you can always cut off any excess</div><div style="text-align: center;">fabric. I like to pin all the edges, it makes it easy to maneuver the shirt when you are cutting it all up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-2ei1Mz33NtI/Tly88WEYRtI/AAAAAAAADU8/geahIHOfmDU/s1600/Step3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="-2ei1Mz33NtI/Tly88WEYRtI/AAAAAAAADU8/geahIHOfmDU/s320/Step3.jpg" width="270"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP FOUR**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cut it all up!! Follow the line you traced earlier, and save these scraps. These scraps will be used as embellishments later on the process. Now</div><div style="text-align: center;">get your well fitting tank top, and trace a line along the actual edge of it</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="#"><img border="0" height="320" src="-vzK79zHv3Tk/Tly88i1j4oI/AAAAAAAADVA/wpR517U3F8s/s320/Step4-2.jpg" width="266"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP FIVE**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now we are ready to sew up the armhole seams. Fold the edge towards the right side of the shirt about 1/2 inch, and repeat. You should have</div><div style="text-align: center;">somewhat of a rolled hem. You can also do a straight stitch along the edges to prevent the seams from fraying, this will give the seams that raw</div><div style="text-align: center;">edge look.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-k3BKEjbu5_Y/Tly8_9oPBKI/AAAAAAAADVo/aaqYHJIK3E8/s1600/StpFinal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="-k3BKEjbu5_Y/Tly8_9oPBKI/AAAAAAAADVo/aaqYHJIK3E8/s320/StpFinal.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-WI0e3OEhgR8/Tly883VojlI/AAAAAAAADVE/QFkPVrcHjDI/s1600/Step5-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="-WI0e3OEhgR8/Tly883VojlI/AAAAAAAADVE/QFkPVrcHjDI/s320/Step5-2.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-Vfp0Zo1bKnY/Tly89VLaFeI/AAAAAAAADVI/ORqp5wpMmEY/s1600/Step5-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="-Vfp0Zo1bKnY/Tly89VLaFeI/AAAAAAAADVI/ORqp5wpMmEY/s320/Step5-3.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-PGtqfi7R9u8/Tly89qRnWdI/AAAAAAAADVM/Ouw63XucTx4/s1600/Step5-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="-PGtqfi7R9u8/Tly89qRnWdI/AAAAAAAADVM/Ouw63XucTx4/s320/Step5-4.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP SIX**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sew up the side seams by following your earlier trace. Try it on!! Take in more along the sides if needed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-Xttzz45mcpA/Tly898rHN7I/AAAAAAAADVQ/0gAKBQgFLU4/s1600/Step6-1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="-Xttzz45mcpA/Tly898rHN7I/AAAAAAAADVQ/0gAKBQgFLU4/s320/Step6-1-1.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP SEVEN**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Remember all the fabric scraps? Now we get to make them into ruffles!! {my favorite!} Cut them into strips measuring 1.5 inches wide. I used a</div><div style="text-align: center;">total of four strips measuring about 22 inches long.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-OLtxqawlyG8/Tly8-PJfUbI/AAAAAAAADVU/6398WQncRSs/s1600/Step7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="-OLtxqawlyG8/Tly8-PJfUbI/AAAAAAAADVU/6398WQncRSs/s320/Step7.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP EIGHT**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Make the strips into ruffles. I like to do a straight stitch along one edge to keep them from fraying.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-uHMq5eO_PVg/Tly8-QlsZBI/AAAAAAAADVY/grNCLGKFNvM/s1600/Step8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="-uHMq5eO_PVg/Tly8-QlsZBI/AAAAAAAADVY/grNCLGKFNvM/s320/Step8.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP NINE**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yay!!! Almost done!! Now we get to arrange the ruffles onto the shirt. I picked one side of the shirt right along the collar and armhole. The</div><div style="text-align: center;">possibilities are endless, so be creative!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-BIOdfoxNJCY/Tly8_u2HAWI/AAAAAAAADVk/PVEpsrqQq8Q/s1600/Stp9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="#"><img border="0" height="238" src="-luaG1OWsrZc/Tly8-1W2GeI/AAAAAAAADVc/GeTyYd8Q1p4/s320/Step9-2.jpg" width="320"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">**STEP TEN**</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now sew them up!! If you are arranging the ruffles like mine, then the easiest way to sew them up is by starting at the bottom, and pivoting when</div><div style="text-align: center;">you get to each side, but if it is too confusing, then backstitch at every end, and start on the next layer of ruffles…..And…Ta dah!! You're done!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-60l7OPLhwWc/Tly8_GhTegI/AAAAAAAADVg/8jN8F_teHjc/s1600/Step10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="-60l7OPLhwWc/Tly8_GhTegI/AAAAAAAADVg/8jN8F_teHjc/s320/Step10.jpg" width="239"/></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br/>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">pat yourself on the back and go show off your new shirt!! Easy right??</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you enjoyed this easy tutorial and are ready to put it to work!! Thank you to sweet Katie for having me over!!</div>

Make a Bottle Cap Necklace with Veronic and the Lucky 7 Factory!

Hi everyone!<br/>
It's Veronic, I'm one of the owners of the Lucky 7 Factory. A scrapbook business based in Quebec, Canada.<br/>
Today I'll teach you a super easy project- A necklace made out of a beer/bottle cap, an old chain and scrap paper.<br/>
You can work with everything to make your necklace your own.<br/>
I'll teach you the project my way, but feel free to create and change!<br/>
<br/>
You'll need:<br/>
Scrap paper<br/>
Old chain<br/>
Bottle/Beer Cap<br/>
Stickles<br/>
Glossy Accent- (A clear Drying glue)<br/>
Crop-O-dile or Nail and hammer<br/>
Malleable metal wire<br/>
Scissor<br/>
Shrink plastic<br/>
Adirondack alcohol Ink<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-HyWAOc82ZIU/TjHD49m85dI/AAAAAAAADBo/CVT3vm2QwbQ/s1600/Picture-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-HyWAOc82ZIU/TjHD49m85dI/AAAAAAAADBo/CVT3vm2QwbQ/s320/Picture-001.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>. First, with your Crop-O-Dile, make a hole in your beer cap. If you don't have a Crop-O-Dile, use a nail and a hammer.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-M68Y6oguA3I/TjHD6EShctI/AAAAAAAADBs/psIIpyvUm50/s1600/Picture-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-M68Y6oguA3I/TjHD6EShctI/AAAAAAAADBs/psIIpyvUm50/s320/Picture-002.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>And your hole.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="#"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-_T8cNoQNISA/TjHD7o7bsJI/AAAAAAAADBw/Efo4POBfWzY/s320/Picture-003.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>Next, in your scrap paper cut a circle that fit your beer cap. For my necklace I inked my circle.<br/>
Stick your circle with glossy in your beer cap.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-2viwETKJp34/TjHD89k2mCI/AAAAAAAADB0/ktrqSXpBjHA/s1600/Picture-004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="-2viwETKJp34/TjHD89k2mCI/AAAAAAAADB0/ktrqSXpBjHA/s320/Picture-004.jpg" width="240px"/></a></div>Now, with your Stickles, do the contour of your circle.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-y9u_R6go3Aw/TjHD-ezFerI/AAAAAAAADB4/6cgbzITqRQY/s1600/Picture-005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="-y9u_R6go3Aw/TjHD-ezFerI/AAAAAAAADB4/6cgbzITqRQY/s320/Picture-005.jpg" width="240px"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-FP0qTcaAwLs/TjHDnn9gLNI/AAAAAAAADA4/crgl_Sm-9fI/s1600/Picture-006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-FP0qTcaAwLs/TjHDnn9gLNI/AAAAAAAADA4/crgl_Sm-9fI/s320/Picture-006.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>Let it dry all night.<br/>
In mine, i wrote: Dream. You can change the word or put some flowers, or everything you want.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-KH3pdCwUzjk/TjHDqmr55KI/AAAAAAAADBA/zpBKi_j96rM/s1600/Picture-008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-KH3pdCwUzjk/TjHDqmr55KI/AAAAAAAADBA/zpBKi_j96rM/s320/Picture-008.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>Than i ink with Alcohol ink of Ranger, my shrink plastic.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-U8sZVHyrBX0/TjHDpDTJAjI/AAAAAAAADA8/dAHzrRqRN-0/s1600/Picture-007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="-U8sZVHyrBX0/TjHDpDTJAjI/AAAAAAAADA8/dAHzrRqRN-0/s320/Picture-007.jpg" width="240px"/></a></div>Then i glue my cloud with my glossy Accent on my word Dream.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="#"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-sDgvIIl_6zA/TjHDsCppIvI/AAAAAAAADBE/-nRQAHvYVWY/s320/Picture-009.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>To make sure nothing will move, i cover all the beer cap with glossy.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-sHummfsvRRY/TjHDteiMFoI/AAAAAAAADBI/CsiULCBONCs/s1600/Picture-010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-sHummfsvRRY/TjHDteiMFoI/AAAAAAAADBI/CsiULCBONCs/s320/Picture-010.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>And i wait..again..one night<br/>
<br/>
Now, cut your wire.<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-TKvOSkIDzV4/TjHDxir9I_I/AAAAAAAADBU/9Cq4dJfKDyI/s1600/Picture-013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-TKvOSkIDzV4/TjHDxir9I_I/AAAAAAAADBU/9Cq4dJfKDyI/s320/Picture-013.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div>And make a loop in your hole in your beer cap<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-aiseY19tFgM/TjHDzMZYpMI/AAAAAAAADBY/2T9zyVfGpTQ/s1600/Picture-014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>Easy, no?<br/>
You just have to pass your chain in your loop and you'll have one little girl or you..happy!<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-r3DkuaB53B4/TjHD0XsN66I/AAAAAAAADBc/VLqfdlMPZCc/s1600/Picture-015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="-r3DkuaB53B4/TjHD0XsN66I/AAAAAAAADBc/VLqfdlMPZCc/s320/Picture-015.jpg" width="320px"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-iQt1DTrg1Uo/TjHD11WM-FI/AAAAAAAADBg/1uX0inwcfiE/s1600/Picture-016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="-iQt1DTrg1Uo/TjHD11WM-FI/AAAAAAAADBg/1uX0inwcfiE/s320/Picture-016.jpg" width="240px"/></a></div><br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="-lWjVKPebzb8/TjHD3Y52pqI/AAAAAAAADBk/zitLYKA96XI/s1600/Picture-017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="-lWjVKPebzb8/TjHD3Y52pqI/AAAAAAAADBk/zitLYKA96XI/s320/Picture-017.jpg" width="240px"/></a></div>Since, this one is for my daughter, I didn't work with small things or flowers. But, if you make the necklace for a grown up you can use more "precious" things.<br/>
<br/>
Have fun!<br/>
