DIY Bow Tie Tanks

Decorate Your Old Tank Tops and Show Off Your Back with a Statement Piece

A statement bow can really complement any outfit, whether it’s in your hair or on jewelry. This DIY incorporates the statement bow somewhere not too often seen—on the back of your tank top. This pictorial by iLovetoCreate’s blog teaches you how to sweeten any look with a strand of silk ribbon of your choice.

The first half of this tutorial shows you how to use ScreenIt technology to spice up an old shirt and cut it into a tank top. You can also try this bow method on any tank tops you own. Using a ribbon or any strip of fabric that you like, run the strip through, wrap twice and perfect your bow. The blogger also advises to use a few drops of Fabric Fusion glue inside the knot to keep it in place.
