Basic to Graphic!

A very OG hack that we most probably witnessed in MAD on Pogo was Sandpaper transferring. All you need is an old basic white T-shirt, some Oil Pastel colours and an Iron. You need to draw the design you want to transfer on the sandpaper and then put it on your t-shirt where you want it (the drawing facing the t-shirt). Put a thin cloth over it and Iron it for a solid 5-10 minutes. Wallah! You have your customized Graphic T-shirt!

Oh, My Jeans!

Jeans may get some minute holes when used daily. For this one, you need some embroidery thread, needles and a lot of creativity. Start making small flowers near the whole and gradually make it cover the whole and extend beyond that. Quick Tip, watch a YouTube video to learn the tricks of embroidery!

Fun and Colors!

 Boring, mundane jeans are also a big NO, NO! Use washi tape at the edge of your jeans back pocket, covering all sides. Use white paint to cover the whole pocket and let it dry. Use a pencil to sketch your favourite cartoon or design and use Fabric colours to paint it. Let the paint dry and use a cloth over it, then iron to keep your design sealed!

T-shirt to Bag?

If you have a mundane, old t-shirt, then carry things in it! Cut off the sleeves of the t-shirt, make it sleeveless. Then make your t-shirt inside out, seal the bottom by stitching and then revert it. Use the sleeves as the handle and slay the day with your Up-cycled bag!

Scrunch it up!

You have a dress or t-shirt which have print to die for! Never part your days with it, turn it into a scrunchie. Use Pinterest and YouTube to ace the skill.

 

Nothing around you is trash, you just need a creative perspective to DO IT YOURSELF and Up-cycle your favourite piece of cloth.
