how to

how to:
re-vamp a tank
not to mention in ten minutes.
&
for $8.00

1. 
go to your local target.
or whatever store you would like 
find any tank or T. 
in my case i got this black tank on sale for around $5.00

2. 
go to your local thrift store.
look around for some lace, mine was in the linens section.
i got about 2 yards of lace for $1.60

3. 
cut the lace out however wide you would like the ruffle to become.
once you have it cut out, pull out your sewing machine.

 4.
sew about 5/8 from the edge straight down to the bottom of the piece of lace. 
 it should look like this:

5.
take one of the strings and pull it so that it puckers up.

6.
pin the lace to the tank around the neck line then sew. 
try to follow the same sew line from when you puckered it.
it will look cleaner.
 
7.
wahlah! you are finished.
a plain tank turned in to a very cute shabby chic tank.
 &

i definitely love mine.
and for only $8 bucks?
what a steal!
