DIY T-shirt Cutting and Distressing: How to Make Your T-shirts Stand Out on the Cheap

[@joyelfowler4983]

I just want to say thank you Kandee! Years back I was going through a divorce and was raising my kids on my own with absolutely no help. My job cut to part time so I had to pick up another job to make ends meet. I started bartending and needed clothes that was completely different from my other job. I refused to take away from my kiddos buying clothes that might not last long without being messed up. I love distressed clothes but wanted other ways to do it than the few I knew. That's where you came into my life!!! I would binge watch your DIY'S for clothes and your makeup videos!! Your positive attitude and willingness to be happy got me through one of the darkest times in my life!!! Bonus for me... I created a whole separate wardrobe for bartending and created so many different makeup looks!! Keep smiling and sending positive vibes girl.. they really do help people! Lots of hugs and love!!!! ❤️💜💞💖

I remember your old shirt-cutting days. This feels like a throw back hehe. Love your creativity, personality, crazy style, but most importantly I love your heart. Such a humble, kind, and loving person. We need lots of Kandees in this world. God bless! ❤️

[@kandeejohnson]

yay! Thank you so much! I love you!

[@whatisup6969]

small vomit :)

[@sierrakorsen6661]

I remember watching your old tshirt cutting videos over and over again! I'm so happy to see that you've posted another one! I love watching you're creative juices flowing and fueling me with endless inspirations! I love you and your videos so much! Please! Please! Please! Post more of these. Love any of your diy!

[@jessicacrawley7220]

More DIY's!! I miss yours, not that I only count, but I'm sure there are others that feel the same way! xx

[@Chelseaness09]

The first video of yours I ever watched was the "how to cut t shirts 80s style" video. I continue to be amazed at how far you've come along since then, I feel like I've grown up with you. I love you and I'm proud of you!

[@coolirpa]

You were my inspo in high school (2010) for tshirt cutting! The beginning of my fashion designing 😍❤

[@JenniferBruggemanOfficial]

The video that brought me to you was a "how to distress your jeans" video! Love that you're going back to this.

[@honeymarshmello]

I have been dying for you to make this video! Please make more! Thank you! 🍬💖

[@ali-es2ye]

I just turned 59 yrs young, and I have to say, I totally love your whole personality and art and your beautiful smile! I want to try one out, just for fun! 💖💖💖💖

[@motherofmoo1]

Can we bring back the old school Kandee DIY's please!? I miss these and also when you did the disney Princess makeup/dress up/movie characters! Loved that stuff! xo

[@BOOShawny]

I'm all about this! I always go through the older clothing I don't really wear anymore. If i don't like it, I'll donate it and if i like the design or graphic on the Tee, I'll cut them up. I usually make muscle tee's, just cut off the sleeve and side of the shirt. Great for summertime. It allows a nice breeze flow thru hahah.

[@sarahwilliams9798]

The cuteness of your older videos just broke my heart in a happy way! I love you!

[@Luv2LuvEm]

I'm so glad you're bringing these DIY videos back!!! I used to watch ALL of them (you were the very first YT guru I ever watched. Back then you even cut your own hair, remember that? Lol) I never like the way t-shirts look on me so I ALWAYS cut them. (Which of course, I got the idea from you) I cut the hem off the bottom & the sleeves & I either cut a slit in the neck or just cut the neck completely off. I just like how they look after. How the raw hems curl up. I just like it better. I'm definitely going to try this on one (or three) of my tees.

[@ShaButton]

I adore that you're such a kind hearted soul!! You're filled with so much love!! You're true to who you are, which is admirable. Thank you for being you, Kandee. Much love!!

[@Yumcupkake]

Your old T-shirt videos is where it started for me. 💜💜

[@ZoeNazarian]

I'd love to see more of these! I used to love all of your old videos on this :).

[@missrockerca]

Haha, Kandee, that disclaimer is so funny 😄😀 I'm so glad that the T-shirt didn't pay for this video and that your opinion, thoughts and instructions about T-shirt distressings are yours and not the T-shirts' 🤓🤗🙃 Great video, as always, love your positivity 😀

[@sweetpink71]

I was searching how to cut a tshirt snd came across your channel and I was thinking how come your mum let you do this,because mine got furious when I cut my shirts... then in one video you talked about your age and kids and I was like "she's older than 18?" lol. anyhow, thank you for this little throw back memory :D
