Channel your inner craftee and follow the steps below to make your #AEOStyle personalized!

STEP 1:
Gather your supplies:

• A cropped or regular length t-shirt (we used our Cropped Varsity T-Shirt)
• Scissors

Step 2:
Match up the points of the collar so the front and back of the neckline are aligned. Using the seam as a guide, cut off the neckline just below the seam.

Step 3:
Starting at the top of the shoulder, pick your desired shoulder width. Again, following just below the seam, cut a semi-circle to remove the sleeve.

Step 4:
Fold the shirt in half, lining up the edges of the shoulder, side and bottom. Use the already cut side of the shirt as a guide to cut the other sleeve.

Step 5:
Keeping the shirt in the same position, use the seam as a guide to remove the bottom of the t-shirt. Cut to your desired length, keeping in mind the original length of the t-shirt. (regular or crop).

Step 6:
Your vintage inspired muscle crop tank is complete!
