Hello! Sorry for the late night DIY but I’m a student so…. there. With the homework out of the way I would like to show you this easy do-it-yourself project. I wore this fringe tee today and let me tell you, fringe is fun! I’m one of those people who enjoy/annoy other people by swinging in chairs. Fringe is the grown-up version of a fun chair swing. Without further ado I hope you like my latest DIY!
What You Need:
- One tshirt: I got mine from Salvation army for $1.50
- Fringe: I paid $3 for this fringe which was in a package of remnants (leftovers) at Sussman’s Bridal on Queen, normally this size is $18/yard
Instructions:
- Find a tshirt
- Pin on the fringe or other trim of your choice
- Sew directly on making sure the fringe doesn’t go under the needle. One thing to note is that if you’re using a sewing machine make sure the tension is loose otherwise the fringe will get sucked up.

Total Cost of DIY: $4.50

This is so awesome! I got a vintage tshirt that i wanted to do something to but wasn’t sure what. this might just be it! I always love your DIY tuesdays.
I am a new reader and I have been very very inspired by your posts. 2010 is going to be a year when I shall by nothing from mass market chain brands and your website is the perfect find to add some pizzaz to my wardrobe.
Love from fellow Torontonian.

I love all you DIYS (they’re simple but always interesting). But I can’t keep up – I’m still on the studding, and looking for grommets. Thank god you have the “Do It Yourself” link at the top, or I would lose track.
@Crystal Thank-you! I’m glad you enjoy them! I would love to see your final result if you decide to add fringe! Let me know!
@Trishna Sounds like a good goal! I’m so glad you like my site and you’ve gotten some ideas to add “pizazz” (great word!)
@ShopTOLive Thank-you so much! It’s so nice to hear that people are doing my DIYs! Don’t feel like you have to keep up – I want you to have fun doing them!
Thanks for all your comments and compliments!
Oh fringe, how I love thee. As a professional fidgeter, I find that fringe is perfect: you can twirl it, braid it or just swish it around and it provides a constant source of entertainment.
Yet another fantastic DIY Kaitlin!
This is so cool! I love the DIY posts, they are so creative! I will have to give this a try – thnx!

@A.Co thank you so much! I’m glad you like them!
[...] guys! As usual I got hooked on a certain embellishment after using it, (ie. Fringe Collar) so I decided to add it to the shoulders of my t-shirt dress which I wore as a shirt in the pic [...]
