  • Hey guys, so I cut up my t-shirts in this one. A quick and easy DIY t-shirt up-cycle/reconstruction: a choker t-shirt and this other one with slits (can't think of a cool name for it lol) The back feels like overkill though.
    You could lace up the choker t-shirt, but I'm not too crazy about that trend so I chose not too.
    Also, let's ignore the hole in my t-shirt 😂 gee thanks.

    They are both awesome, with 2 Being my favorite. I did not notice the gold until the actual video. The thumbnail looked like knots, and I still wanted to go for it. Imagine my face when I realized it's those little things for hair, that I ALREADY have for my updo bun styles. 😍🤩. I was already doing a cranberry colored shirt with the video, pausing every few seconds, and I know I'm finna have multipleS. Great video. New subscriber here. Thank You!!

      I’m totally certain they are the ones you use for hair. People usually put them in braids or dreads. Usually called “cuffs.”
