How to Make a Bow-Back Top!

You will need:              Credit To: Bethany Mota aka. MacBarbie07 on YouTube
Rotary Cutter
Piece of Cardboard
Scissors
A T-Shirt
Liquid Stitch

1. Place the piece of cardboard between the front and back of the shirt
2. Take the scissors and cut some of the bottom of the shirt. This fabric will be used later.
3. Take the rotary cutter and cut slits in the shirt about 4 in. apart from each other until you reach the bottom of your shirt.
4. Taking the fabric that was cut off the bottom of the shirt, create little strips by cutting them off the fabric in 1/2 in. wide sections.
5. To make the "bow" effect, pinch the first 2 slits together and wrapping the strips around it. Secure it with the Liquid Stitch.

**NOTE** When Liquid Stitching the strips onto the shirt, make sure that the ends of the strips are faceing the inside of the shirt. This helps the bows not look sloppy.
