A unique image is the dream of every fashionista. I would like to show my individuality, to look especially and spectacular. In search of your own style, even the most ordinary T-shirt can become a wardrobe decoration, if you give free rein to imagination and creative flight.

Which T-shirt will fit?
In fact, there are no clear rules here. You don't have to buy a new item to decorate a T-shirt: it all depends on the design you intended. Some people like experimenting with new products, others prefer vintage, still others want to recreate grunge, casual, glam rock and so on. It's all about the woman's taste and how she sees the planned project. The old or the new thing is up to the woman to decide.

Women's T-shirt fits better, so it is better to refuse from overly shapeless models like men's: no matter how you decorate them, they will not look stylish. The goal of any design is to show not only a special style, but also a feminine principle. Therefore, do not waste time on baggy styles. At best, they will create a sudden weight loss effect.

It is better to take a solid color product as a basis: a simple jersey T-shirt gives more design possibilities... If you want to often appear in a fashionable and stylish new thing, you should pay attention to the white or black color. These shades have long gone down in the history of fashion as classics, so they will always be relevant, regardless of the changeability of fashion trends. In addition, white and black colors go well with almost any wardrobe item.

If you don't like the classic shades, you can experiment with any others. However, there is one caveat: the acidic and flashy tones of the T-shirt will make the accent faded and unnecessary. It is better if the color of the thing is soft and muted: this way the product will look noble, and the finish will be harmonious.In addition, it must be borne in mind that today, in a woman's image, poisonous tones are inappropriate. It is important to showcase a delicate taste and unique image.

When choosing a product for design, it is worth considering a number of nuances:
- stretched fabric does not look glamorous;
- grunge is sloppy, but does not tolerate a large set of decorations;
- casual is distinguished by moderation and versatility;
- sporty style - a minimum of decor, a modest accent;
- a T-shirt with a print requires careful selection of decorative elements;
- the strip is a strict style, it will not be easy to decorate it;
- hippie style welcomes any decor;
- the decor should be appropriate in any case (no unambiguous hints, rude quotes, gypsy paraphernalia, etc.):
- do not outweigh the knitwear with heavy accessories: the fabric may not support their weight.

To make the product look expensive, the number of fittings should not go off scale. You need to find a middle ground, then the thing will look stylish and appropriate in different looks. She will become a bright decoration of the ensemble and the pride of the wardrobe.

Decor places
Despite the fact that the T-shirt seems like a very simple thing, it offers a lot of possibilities for decoration. A bright accent can be anywhere: below, along the chest line, along the neckline, on the sleeves. Moreover, it can be symmetrical or not, be located horizontally, vertically, diagonally and in a chaotic manner. It all depends on the design idea.

It will be interesting to look at the design option not only in the front: if you decorate the style with an extraordinary decor on the back, such a T-shirt will attract the attention of others even more. The main thing is not to repeat someone else's style: the idea itself should be special, unique.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-23.jpg)
The more creativity it contains, the more interesting and fashionable the “novelty” of the wardrobe will turn out. And, most importantly, it will be in the spirit of its owner, because when it is created, a piece of the soul and a lot of good mood will be invested in the process.

Design options
The design approach to decoration depends on the taste and creativity of the fashionista. Experienced craftswomen often create real masterpieces, while a few strokes of the scissors are enough for other natures to see a new fashionable product. And in one, and in another case, a rather stylish novelty of the wardrobe can turn out.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-29.jpg)
The theme of design is influenced by the woman's lifestyle, her inner world, as well as interests. If a fashionista is fond of the Arabian theme, she will not miss the opportunity to show off in a stylish T-shirt, decorated with beads, rhinestones and stones. A girl who adores the hippie style will definitely add fringe, ribbons, patches and even cross-stitch or satin stitch to the conceived project. At the same time, it will look bright and fashionable, choosing the right pattern.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-31.jpg)
A more familiar design theme is glamor: all kinds of inscriptions from multicolored letters decorated with rhinestones, cuts, stars, hearts and much more. If you want to dilute the modest style of the T-shirt, you can complement it with lace. It is better to add deliberate negligence with the help of frayed patches, randomly located buttons and even metal fittings.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-32.jpg)
You should not decorate the product with decor with sharp edges: the jersey will quickly tear, which will not allow you to enjoy the result of your labor. The decor should be light and not too laborious, as in the best Italian traditions: style, charm and nothing more.

Original ways of updating
In the search for design, future trends are often born that are noticed by creative designers.
With scissors
One of the interesting decor techniques is scissors swing. With this tool, you can change a regular T-shirt beyond recognition.

The easiest option is the back side cross-sections. If you give free rein to imagination, on this basis, you can create different patterns. Angel wings? Why not? Unusual and fashionable! Moreover, a simple model instantly acquires grunge notes. Simple shorts, loose curls - all you need for a complete set.And already a simple sport bow looks different.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-36.jpg)
The scissors design can be varied in another way: simple cuts will look different if they are pulled in the middle in the form of bows or tied in knots. The whole process will not take more than 10-15 minutes, but the view will be incredibly bright. And if you put on a contrasting T-shirt under such a T-shirt, you will get the effect of a double material. Unusual and fashionable!
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-41.jpg)
With the addition of lace
Decor in the form of lace can add no less creativity to the style. This technique is especially good in decorating an old and unprepossessing T-shirt with a faded effect. To do this, you can use a ready-made braid by sewing it over the product itself.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-42.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-43.jpg)
If you want to make a more interesting design, then you can't do without scissors: having chosen the conceived silhouette, you need to attach it to the intended place of accent, cut it in shape and sew lace on the back. Moreover, in this case, it is not at all necessary that the T-shirt be monochromatic: stripes or a floral print are also appropriate.

Using handicraft accessories
Every fashionista always has interesting little things that are waiting in the wings. Time to get them out and decorate your T-shirt! Beads, rhinestones, sequins and other accessories - everything will come in handy. The main thing is to make sure that the components are folded into a certain pattern, even if it is simple.

As a rule, rhinestones are sewn to the T-shirt for greater reliability. If you don't feel like sewing, that's not a problem: they can be glued with special hot glue.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-46.jpg)
If you don't feel like messing around with miniature items, a variety of chains will help. A few bold touches down the sleeves - and even the most casual T-shirt will be smart.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-47.jpg)
Using finishing material
If you have a sewing machine, there are a lot of possibilities for decoration. Moreover, sometimes this design looks somewhat romantic. You can decorate the item with a large flower by placing it asymmetrically. It is advisable to use thin and matte material (chiffon) for decoration. So the texture will be better combined, and the decor will not sag.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-51.jpg)
To prevent the edges of the fabric from crumbling, you can fold the textiles in half, and then collect the raw edge in the form of ruffles. Having twisted the flower in a spiral from the large circle to the middle, the end must be hidden. This method will take longer, but the beauty is worth it.

Drawing a picture
For those with a talent for drawing, this design will be a chic theme for inspiration. It is better to choose a product in one tone and preferably light. An uncomplicated or pretentious style is up to the stylist: and geometric patterns created with a confident hand look stylish if they have a certain meaning.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-165/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-55.jpg)
To prevent the pattern from being erased after washing, you need to use special paints or felt-tip pens on the fabric.... If you are concerned that the drawing may not work out as intended, you can use a stencil. And here it is even easier: a sheet of paper, scissors and a little imagination. Having cut out the desired shape, it is applied to the place of accent and the selected pigment is applied on top.

Applique application
This method allows you to create many interesting compositions. It is noteworthy that the decor can be not only flat, sewn on. If you make a volumetric applique, the look of the product will sparkle with new colors. Themes can be very diverse, from glamorous hearts, colors to strict geometry and even abstraction. At the same time, flaps of several different colors are often used as decorative elements, each patching over the base of the product.

An appliqué on a T-shirt using coffee beans and plastic cups is also an interesting idea.

Master class on transforming an ordinary T-shirt into a fashionable one
To turn a boring T-shirt into a new hit, you can do a blended design with poppies using pattern and applique techniques. Style can be chosen based on the catwalk ensemble. To complete the work you will need:
- light T-shirt;
- red chiffon or organza patches;
- textile black paint;
- machine;
- threads;
- petal patterns;
- pencil;
- scissors.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-59.jpg)
Having prepared the source sketch, you need to lay the T-shirt on a flat surface. It is advisable to lay a sheet of cardboard between the layers of material: it will be easier to draw, and the second layer will be saved from printing with paint. It is better to fix the "canvas" along the edges with clothespins, this will exclude the formation of folds during drawing. For a product to look beautiful, you do not need to be afraid of lines: you need to draw confidently, drawing each stem of flowers.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-60.jpg)
While the paint hardens, you need to tackle the petals. Cutting them out of chiffon using patterns of different sizes, you need to process the edge with a zigzag stitch. Then the petals should be collected using folds or simply pulled together on one side, forming a concave shape.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-61.jpg)

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/08/kak-ukrasit-futbolku-svoimi-rukami-63.jpg)
Each flower needs two or three petals of different sizes. Gathering each flower together, they are sewn to the base spots drawn earlier. This must be done carefully, with inconspicuous stitches.

A sufficiently bold and bright look will help create a design in the form of a smiling skull located on the back of a T-shirt. Down with sleeves: this will make it look more believable. All you need to add is jeans and a simple hairstyle.

A T-shirt cut in the middle of the back, decorated with neat contrasting bows along the entire cut, looks modest but tasteful. Light trousers are perfect for her.

An uncomplicated drawing, a few letters - and the T-shirt conveys the mood. It remains to add denim shorts and tie a plaid shirt to the hips.

When decorating a T-shirt, we must not forget that there should be one accent in the product and the ensemble. Otherwise, the composition will be oversaturated. In addition, when putting on a T-shirt with a lot of slits, you should not choose a mini-skirt for it: it is inappropriate here, and you will not be able to draw attention to an unusual thing.
