DIY: Off-shoulder top! (No stitching or extra skill required)

DIY off-shoulder top: Image We all have some T-shirts that we never wear or don't like, or a t-shirt that we like so much that we almost wear it everyday and when it starts getting old and loose it's charm we feel heart-broken, maybe! :) Today I will share a simple method with you that you can do and transform any t-shirt to a classy off the shoulder top with nothing but a pair of scissor. Sounds good right? I tried this on two of my t-shirt and failed in the first try, but the second one turned out great! But I forgot to take pictures both the times and was left with no choice but to use this old blue t-shirt that i absolutely hate! And yeah the picture quality is really bad so sorry about that in advance. Lets begin now! :) (P.S: Read the tips given down below for sure, because I will tell some very important points there.) Things you will need:

  • Any scissor that will cut through the fabric easily, almost any sharp scissor will.


Image

  • Any t-shirt that you want to convert into off the shoulder top.


Method:

  • Lay the t-shirt on a flat surface, in my case bed. Grab your scissor.


Image (See how bad this t-shirt is! Now yo know why I don't like it! :/)

  • It's your choice which side you want to the top to go off-shoulder. I have chosen left side.

  • Make a small cut near the neck of the top to the side which you want to be on the shoulder which in my case is right side,


Image

  • Notice how I made the cut very close to the stitching of the neck on the side which I want to be on my shoulder (right side).


Image

  • Now make the cut on the other side, which will be our off the shoulder side. But this time make the cut a little away from the neck, like so:


Image (P.S: See the tips below to know how far should you make the cut)

  • Start cutting the neck from the right side (on the shoulder side), but be very close to the stitch.


Image (Bad picture quality, yes!:( *sigh* )

  • Cut all the way, but stop a few inches before reaching the end.


ggggggggggggggg

  • Now cut in the direction of the arrow, this time keep it a little away from the neck's stitch.8

  • Once the whole neck is separated stretch the shirt from the neck to loosen the fabric and give it a rusty look.


9

  • I have used a full-sleeve t-shirt here so i cut the arms as well. If you are using half one skip this step.


10

  • Now your Very self made off the shoulder top is ready to wear.

  • This is what mine looked like:


11 Tips:

  • You can use any t-shirt, full sleeves or half sleeves.

  • Do NOT make the cut too far away from neck to the off-shoulder side.

  • See the fabric of your shirt Before making the cut.

  • If the cloth is thin, like mine do not keep the distance long or it will become off the hand top. Lol. Okay maybe i exaggerated. :D


Best idea is to first cut the whole neck close to it's stitching and then you can alter the off shoulder side according to your liking. Is this confusing? :/ Okay so I did my best to make this tutorial as simple as i could.   Hope you give this a try. If you have any questions leave a comment down below and i will reply to them instantly! Until next time lovelies! :) Few more pictures of the shirt: The sleeves: DSC01613 Sleeves again: DSC01615 You can even talk to me on twitter here: @Cbeautieshubhi If you want any information on anything let me know. :)

Review: Himalya purifying neem face wash..

Today i am going to write a review of my absolute favorite face wash by The Himalya drug company.

Image

PRICE: Rs. 50 (indian rupees)

I have been using this face wash from the past few weeks and I LOVE IT! :)

What the product says:

Image

I don't have severe acne but my friend does.

She used this for a month and her acne/pimples started disappearing, so if you have acne and are looking for a mild cleanser this could help(oh, my friend has oily skin)

Pros:

  • It is soap free, so it's not harsh on your skin

  • It gently removes impurities and prevents pimples

  • It is anti-bacterial as it has neem

  • Made of natural ingrediants

  • Reasonably priced

  • Doesn't dry out skin(I have dry combination skin)

  • Good for acne/pimles

  • Mild on the skin


Cons:

Me and my friend couldn't find any! :)

I would rate this product 5/5 and would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I hope you found this helpful.

My next post will be a DIY lip scrub.

See you next time.

Byeee... :)

Natural cleanser/ exfoliant and mask!! Works for ALL skin types!

DIY oatmeal face wash / exfoliator and Mask!!

 

If you are looking for a cheap, natural cleanser, OATMEAL (OATS) is the answer!!

You must have seen many expensive cosmetics with oats as an ingredient, but why waste so much money to gain the amazing benefits of oats mixed with other chemicals when you can use it easily at home! ;)

Benefits of oats:

Image

OATMEAL is a natural cleanser And a gentle exfoliator..

They soothe and heal skin...

It is anti-inflammatory, protects skin from free radicals.

Exfoliates your skin gently, tighten pores as a mask.

Gives you brighter and younger looking skin and much more... ;)

 Not only this!

Oats have been clinically proven to help dry or itchy skin!

 

Here is how I use oats:

As a Cleanser or face wash  or exfoliator:

  • Take palm full of oats and clutch them into a fist.
  • Run it under slightly WARM water
  • Drain the excess water after the oats are saturated and use this water to wet your face.

(This will make your face soft)

  • Start rubbing your face  with this gooey mixture
  • Keep rubbing this for Full one minute
  • Wash off with Cold water to close pores for smooth and glowing skin! J

(THIS WILL EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN AT THE SAME TIME, you don’t need anything else)

 

As a face mask:

 

  • All you need is one extra step to turn it into a mask!
  • Just leave it on for another 5-7 minutes after scrubbing it on your face
  • Wash off with cold water to close the pores of your skin.
  • DONE! 

 

 

I guarantee you softer skin right after your first use!

If you use this regularly your skin will be glowing in no time!

This will also make your skin brighter and improve your complexion!!
And it’s safe to use daily as it’s a gentle exfoliant!!!!

 

So what are you waiting for!???

Its cheap and the most effective recipe for your skin!

Go buy a pack of oats today and start using this without any doubts!! ^-^

 

AND do tell me if you tried it and how were the results!!!!

 

Oh, and you can use this on your whole body in place of a body scrub and your whole body will be soft and glowing!

 

Another way to use this is soak oats in your bath tub until the water turns whiteand now its ready to be sunk in!

 

Take care!

See you in my next post! ^-^

 

Remember to follow your dreams! J
