You have your favorite haunt shirts, but is wearing a t-shirt every day getting a little repetitive? Try a haunt tee makeover to change up your silhouette. Here are some ways to alter shirts for a unique look.
If you like the logo or image on one of your t-shirts, but don’t like the fit, you can cutout the part you like and add it to a different shirt. That is what I did with one of my Knott’s Berry Farm shirts. I loved the image, but it was on the back of the shirt, so I never got to see it. I thrifted a plain shirt that worked well with the black and greys of the image. Then (with the help of my seamstress Mom) I cut out the image and sewed it onto the other shirt. For added style, I also cut off some of the shirt’s neck to give it an off-the-shoulder look and added some striped straps.
This is one of my favorite shirts! It is a unique way to display my love for Knott’s Scary Farm. It is also extremely comfortable.
Occasionally, a haunt will have a killer sale on leftover shirts from a previous year, but I rarely find one small enough for me. If you have a design you love that is way too big, try making it into a dress. Cut along the sides and try the straps together for a no-sew dress. See the video below for an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide. Haunt shirts often have a higher neckline than the one this Youtuber used, so I would recommend trying to but out a lower neck as well.
This is a Pinterest pin from Mold Fashion Tips. I love the idea of cutting a shirt and then sewing on lace. This works well for images or haunt names that are either on the top-half of the shirt (for the first example) or the back (for the second example). There are plenty of spiderweb and skull laces that would work nicely with this idea.
I would love to see how you have customized your own shirts. Show me your creations on Facebook & Instagram.
