Boy T + Boy Brief = Bubble Tube Top

bubtube5 Boy T + Boy Brief = Bubble Tube Top
You have a month before summer is over, so take advantage of your boyfriend t-shirt and his boy brief and make yourself a bubble tube top. Like this! It’s actually my new swimsuit cover-up to hide my newly formed beer belly (jk I hate beer), but I ain’t posing in my swim wear for you…awkward. Sorry guys, I’m a creator, not a swim suit model. I’m really bad at explaining my DIYs but please bear with me, until I make a vlog with my partner in crime, Agnes.

You need:
+ Thread
+ Needle
+ Boyfriend T-shirt (the larger the better)
+ Boy brief

(Due to religious & sanitary reasons, I bought my own Fruit of the Loom boy briefs pack, size 14 at Target for about $5)

Let’s get started:
1. Grab your boy brief & cut off the elastic part.
The rest of brief you don’t need,
so you can toss it or try to use it for making roses, flowers, or something spiffy. lol

2. Grab your inside – out boyfriend t-shirt.
Cut everything off (see image below: cut along the dotted red lines) so you have just a tube piece of cloth,
with about 3-4 inch slits (sky blue lines) on both sides.

3. Grab your needle, thread, boy brief elastic & your cut boyfriend t-shirt/tube piece.
Mmkay, this is a bit hard and hard to explain, but you’re going to make a scrunchy-like hem.
Create your new hem with the elastic placed inside, by folding over the edges and sewing it.
And, uh…Gah, I give up. I can’t explain this fakldflakejoadnfalkdfawedlfaldfd;lfad;lkfaj;ldf!

4. Your hem will look like this – a scrunchy thing.
This is how your tube top will get its bubble effect

5. Put it on!
Grab the slits, stretch it a little, tie it together and tuck in the rest or create a bow!
That will give your tube top that nice drape-like effect in the front

6. Ta-da!

Like I said, the larger the shirt is – the puffier and drape-ier it will look.
Though my shirt was a small in men, it looks subtly chic to wear.
Grab some bangles and your swim suit – hit the pool with your friends!
