DIY Heart Cut Out Shirts

Today is another day for a DIY cut out shirts. And today I’ll be making a DIY Heart Cut out Shirt. If you have read my other blog about my DIY Skull Shirt, then this DIY project is as much easier than the skull shirt. The materials for this project are pretty much the same with the DIY Skull shirt, but I would still note them down for you. The only thing that is being added for this project is a sticky tape or the masking tape. I would prefer if you use about an inch thick for the masking, but if you don’t have any masking tape, any tape would do as long as it will stick onto the fabric.

DIY Heart Cut out Shirts

Materials you will need for the DIY Heart Cut out Shirts are:

1. Sharp Scissors


2. Clips to hold the shirt together at the front part of the shirt


3. Stretchy T-shirts (For a beginners, you can use ordinary shirts that you are ready to throw away just in case you don’t like what you did on your first cut out shirt)


4. Cardboard Box (A box that would fit the size of the shirt or just about the size of it.)


5. Masking Tape or Sticky Tape

Procedure:

Place the cardboard box inside the shirt. Making sure that the hollow part of the box is at the back part of your shirt. If your box is a bit small and the shirt is a bit loose, use a clip to hold the front part of the shirt, so that the shirt won’t move a lot as you cut out the shirt.

Once the cardboard box and the shirt are in place, use the masking tape to shape it into a heart. This will help guide you where you need to cut the shirt out. Just like the ones on the photo attached. You first place a masking tape right on the middle of the shirt. Place some masking tapes on the sides forming it into a heart shape.

Once the masking tape is in place, make a horizontal snips. You can start from the top then all the way to the bottom. You can start by making a one inch snip then making it wider if you need them to. With this cut out shirt project, for the heart shape, you will need to start with short slits until it becomes wider then back to smaller slits as you go at the bottom.

Once the slits are made, you then gently tug the shirt or stretch out the slits. The slits will make into a rib cage effect. Do the same on the other part of the heart then you are on your way to making your DIY Cut out Shirts.
