How to: Jcrew Tissue Tees
Many of us have drooled over Jcrews’ beautiul tissue tees, with their ruffles and ripples and ribbon accents. My cousin, creative and thrifty as she is, decided to create some of her own, and they are gorgeous!
View the video to see our first creations, and experiment with your own. We picked up a stack of inexpensive tshirts and sweaters from T.J. Max, Ross and Walmart. You can cut up fabric and embellishments from your local craft store or cut up a matching tshirt.
Total cost per shirt: $6.50 Jcrew’s price: $58
That is a saving .

These are great ideas…..however I found it difficult to hear your narration over the guitar music. Could you make the music a little softer? Also, one comment on the camera work…..the camera moved too fast and was shaky at times….could you do a repeat, and have the camera move very slowly and steady? Thanks for the ideas, and I hope my comments were helpful, rather than critical. Bless you….

WOW!!!! I LOVE it!!!!!! I was just at the mall this past week and saw these shirts EVERYWHERE. I loved them just didn’t want to spend the money on them… but tomorrow I will be going shopping to buy plain shirts to make my own. So excited too!

Wow! That is really a good idea, and a great way to get a beautiful shirt without paying an arm and a leg for one. Thanks so much!

Great idea! I took one of my old shirts I had never worn that was all ruffles and no shape ( I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought it) and I was able to tansform it into a cute top!!! Thanks!
