T-Shirt Deconstruction: Crop Top!

Everyone has a t-shirt lying around that just doesn't present itself to be worn... ever. With just a pair of scissors, give that shirt a new life, at the beach perhaps, as a crop top!
(My shirt was an old, small boys' shirt that I used to rock back when I dressed like a boy... Oh, the memories.... =_=")

What You Need:
- Old T-Shirt
- Scissors
- Writing utensil (Optional)
- Sewing Machine/Needles & Thread/Pins (Optional)

How To Do It:
1) Start out by trying on your shirt and visualizing how you want it to look as an end result. Maybe mark up some lines. Take your shirt off (guuurl!) and lay it down on a flat surface.

2) Cut off the sleeves. And the collar, if you so wish.

Trim the sleeves and collar to your liking. I just went at it, but if you wish to be more precise, draw out some lines before you cut. 

3) Now, on one side, cut straight up to the point where you want the shirt to be cropped. Don't get what I just said? No worries; observe the picture below:

This will allow you to tie up the two ends, creating an effortless, cropped shirt!

Now, voila! You're ready to rock yo' abs, baby! ;)
By the way, I just tugged at the edges of the shirt to give it that worn-in, distressed look. If you're looking for something sleeker, just hem the edges!

Ready to hit the beach! :D

P.S. Got scraps? Don't throw them away yet! Tutorial coming, to show you how to make do of those seemingly useless pieces of cloth!
