How to Turn a Long Sleeve Into a Summer Crop Top
Have you got lots of long sleeved tops that you have to put away every summer? Well, here’s a way to use them year round.
You can use t-shirts or fine knit tops for this hack. Basically any fabric that will look good as a backless crop top.
Tools and materials:
- Long sleeved round neck top
1. Select your top
You can use any fabric that will look good as a backless crop top. In my experience a plain round neck top works best.
2. Turn it
Take the top in front of you and turn it upside down, so you’re holding the two bottom corners. Let the neck and sleeves hang down.
3. Bottom edge
Tie those corners that you’re holding behind your neck.
Knot them firmly together so they don’t slip.
4. Sleeves
Wrap the sleeves around you at waist height.
Tie them behind your back in a knot and finish with an attractive bow.
5. Adjust
Adjust the fabric at the lower edge so it shows as much or as little of your stomach as you want.
Fold the excess to the inside.
How to turn a long sleeve into a summer crop top
Of course, you wouldn’t usually wear your new crop top over another top. I just did that for the purpose of demonstrating this hack modestly!
Make sure you tuck in the edges well and no one will know that your new summer top is really an old long sleeve t-shirt or sweater.
