Deadly with Scissors

As yesterday was a nice public holiday here in Malaysia, I had a bit of free time yesterday afternoon after my gigantic buffet lunch at Tao in Sunway Giza (good food at decent prices!), I decided to get a little creative with the scissors. :)

I was looking through a few blogs and I saw these few on ripped t-shirts and I thought, ‘Hey! I’d like to have one! Let’s ask my sister if she has any old t-shirts she doesn’t want.’ And the rest is as you will see. :)

After a bit of Googling, I learnt a few techniques on ripping t-shirt and these are a few things that I came up with. Please remember that this is my first attempt, so if it isn’t looking too fly, just to let you know I am still practising and will one day cut up a t-shirt I like that I will wear out!

First attempt.

This shirt was originally a collared short sleeve shirt. Naturally, not liking the collar I snipped it way off! But of course, not know how long I wanted the rips to be, I cut them a tad too short. But it’s okay…

Because I can wear the rips in front too! :D

Attempt number 2! Cut up oversized bright yellow t-shirt!

Okay, as you can see from above the shirt is way too loose for me! What I really wanted was for it to be tighter!

Like this! So what to do? Back to the cutting board!


My sister says I look like I wanna kill someone in this photo. But only because I got lazy to smile! Anyways, I made it a little tighter, but then it wasn’t tight enough, but got lazy so just left it as it is now. :) If you notice, I tied up the sides to make it tighter, but didn’t cut off the excess yet so it looks a tad ugly.

Here is how it looks like after I cut off the excess. So much better right! And yes I am smiling cos I am happier it looks decent now. I think this top would be fun for beach wear! I tad too revealing for normal day wear for me.

Last attempt of the day!

Because I didn’t like the floral details on the front of the top I decided to cut off some of it and make it into a ripped design. Sadly, being non-endowed in the chest, I couldn’t cut off too much of it. :(
For this, I also had to cut off the sides to make it tighter.

After looking at the front of the top compared to the back, I felt the front was a little too dull, so I did this to it!

Cheng cheng! Cut out more rips in a triangle shape down the front. Now it looks better! If only the damn floral details weren’t there! Oh well, we’ll see how well I do with the next few shirts!

Anyone wanna donate t-shirts to me?
Can be big/small/oversized/too tight anything! I just need some to experiment on!

To end, this is me deadly with my giant scissors!


Oh, and if you notice my photos have that little knob thing on the right, that’s my doorstopper. It usually appears when photos for Peep are being taken, I just usually photoshop them out. However, I am lazy for this post, so there the knob shall stay!

And that’s all for now!
Till next time!
