Happy Friday and welcome back to my channel! Today I have the perfect summer DIY ideas for those old graphic t-shirts you have had lying around for a while that aren't quite in style anymore, and luckily this is SUPER easy to do for beginners, not to mention an affordable way to upgrade your wardrobe this summer. If you don't have an old shirt to try this on, here's your excuse to take a trip to the thrift store for a thrift flip!
Each t-shirt transformation is super simple, there's only one option you'll need to sew. The rest can be totally no-sew. Grab some scissors, fabric glue, and that old shirt from your closet, and let's upcycle these old shirts into fresh new looks for summer 2021!
I hope you all have fun refashioning your old shirts into these fun new looks, let me know how it goes in the comments! If you enjoyed this video, please like it and share it with your friends, and see you next Friday on DIY Designer.

I’m obsessed with the hook and eye idea for a t shirt. That’s something even guys could try.

[@znycelondon5313]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. Love all of them......my fav one.......the zippers.......🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@madhushreesannigrahi8895]

OMG!! I almost forgot its a friday until Orly reminded me..❤️ Love you Orly..❤️You make fridays...FRIDAYYYYY!!

[@kellybonanno]

I've been looking for no sew ideas for my graphic tees, these are great! I love the last one, making a graphic T look so feminine is awesome. I'd love a part 2 with even more ideas! I don't have a sewing machine so no sew is great.

[@OrlysChannel]

Glad you like them!

[@charmaynemccain1259]

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕LOVE them ALL!!!! But the bib-Hendrix tee is the 🍒 on top! Amazing idea! To the my dresser drawers and thrift store I go!!! Thanks Orly!!!

[@oliquin-roo3420]

Orly this was amazing! The ruffled one awesome and another idea could be a backless version with only strategic spaghetti strap to hold it place. I think this is my favorite video of year, you really shine when you do street wear fashions! A boutique based on your t-shirt creations with a sprinkle of bottoms that work together would be perfect and a total success.

[@Ellaodi]

Agreed!!!

[@rebeccaherrera6006]

Omg girlfriend. I am SO GLAD I found this channel and that you show how to properly put it together to create our own with what is out there. I’m honestly tired of the cutout tees with the tied fringes, etc. it’s so….idk….boring? I’ve been on the hunt for different but on the cheap and the ability to use fabric glue or my little machine. I haven’t seen the large hook and eye tape or that big zipper but now I’m on the hunt! Love love love!! Thank you for all the content. I think you’re amazing.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Yes!!!! Angelina from Blueprint just had a great no no-sew T-shirt video this week too! I love these!!! And I just got a cute Mary J Blige graphic tee on sale at Target (I very rarely buy new, but Mary is my all time fave, I couldn’t turn it down for 7 bucks!). I have a bunch of vintage zippers (courtesy of my wonderful gma). They will be great for the first shirt. Hardware from back in the day was way better quality, too!

[@patriciamalone3553]

I love the ruffles on Jimmy Hendrix...such a juxtaposition.

[@cinemaocd1752]

I need to put that glitter elastic on everything.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

II love the shape and draping! I’m gonna try it with some vintage lace trim!

[@sabrinajoseph8664]

Found this DIY today, I needed an idea for a graphic tee for an upcoming concert. Headed to the fabric store to start my quick project. New follower, thank you!

[@tashawoodmansee8118]

An AC/DC peasant top?!?!?! Orly, hon u r brilliant!!!! I love, love, love it! All were cool, last 1 my fav. Can't wait to watch more vids & try it myself.

[@mable90shaynne]

The Adidas zipper one is so flipping cool! I love it!

[@madhushreesannigrahi8895]

hey that 2 way neon chain and hook & eye was a wonderful idea!! It changes the vibe completely!!!

[@irairod5160]

My favorite is the one with the hook-and-eye tape down the side!

[@evelynj.amponsah8417]

Home Run Orly. Love all 4

[@ahsiajanae]

all of these are so cute 🥰

[@soniahmath]

All of them are soooo cool yet easy to achieve! How do you do it, Orly!! You are GENIUS!!! That's all I got to say...

[@OrlysChannel]

omg thanks babe!

[@danicave4564]

Love love love this. I have drawers of race tees. This is a great way to get to wear them and “class” them up a bit and not look like everyone else.

[@katherinerichardson1767]

I love your creative ideas that even a beginner seamstress can do. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@OrlysChannel]

Thank you! 😊

[@billielawson3329]

I love this so much! i see next video you read my thoughts. I know the ppl I told will tell others about your channel. I go crazy when I see these trims and zippers etc. I love the embelishments!!! They are so fun! Made necklace with some. Well I bought the stuff and kind of knew what I wanted but I am like a kid in candy store going to any fabric store- I just breathe it all in.

[@Oonagh72]

First of all, thanks for repping the flat chested girls of the world. It is so hard find designs that fit us! Next, my favorite is the zip shirt. I can just see it in all white , wearing it to a fancy dinner. It has the structure and style! Finally, the Hendrix t shirt is inspired. Imagine making that one into a dress.

[@varieta9466]

All ideas are awesome! Easy peasy! Thanks for sharing. I can sew…but very short on ideas! Haha Hugs and all the best ❤️🌺

[@taracisco4467]

Girrrrrllll!!! Obsessed!!! I love how these lil tweeks make the shirts so wearable. Thanks so much for being you. Xoxo

[@jadefreeman8901]

For me I love the 3rd one the most can't wait till the next

[@elicaroline4266]

These are all so cool, but the bib top with the elastic side bands is totally my jam. I can't wait to try and make that one.

[@OrlysChannel]

yes!!! share your finished piece with me?

[@godivaone3891]

I’m glad your back and thanks for the video.

[@shelbyball4560]

The hook and eye tape! 😍😍😍 I fixed a rock T with your eyelet tape idea now I’m going hunting for the hook and eye tape next!!!! Love love love!!!

[@ninc623]

Hi Orly, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop watching all these DIYs. Thanks for sharing your talent to the world. You inspire me to be creative and personalize all my boring clothes. I stumbled your channel yesterday and I never left since then. 😄😂

[@angiesayshello4637]

Those are some great ides! I love the peasant blouse the most....followed closely by the orange zipper. Too cute!

[@otunsha101]

I will be thinking about that ruffle trim one for a long time 😍😩

[@mariajensen6162]

thank you for them, they were amazing. i love the music at the end of your video.

[@melbe2996]

Love them all... especially the one with the ruffled trim! 💖💋💋💋💖

[@jairmed.1768]

The last is My favorite!!😍😍😍

[@highpriestess2655]

Amazing!!!! What talent! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@cori0420]

These are amazing! I have a white chunky double zipper I was saving and now I know what I was saving it for! I'm in love with the zipper top and the peasant top ❤️❤️❤️

[@OrlysChannel]

Glad you like them!

[@m.e.5]

Ty for sharing these simple, fun, and fashionable ideas

[@lisarivera8718]

Love it!! Talented and beautiful! 😻

[@teresahaven9222]

I love these!!!! So I purchased several colors of zipper by the yard type zippers and piece that I used was for an infant sleep sack. The mom wanted it to zip open from the bottom or the top. It isn't the type of zipper you used and yet functions in the same way. My favorite is the last 1. I LOVE the sleeves like that!!! I have a couple older t shirts that, well, don't exactly fit anymore. I plan on putting the sleeves like that on and opening down the sides and tying with ribbons

[@1VampieNight]

I love any good t shirt upcycle and these are great!!! I just thrifted 5 old graphic tees. I guess I now know what I'm doing with them. 😊🖤💋

[@OrlysChannel]

so glad!

[@purplealice]

I love the starry buttons on your shirt!

[@OrlysChannel]

it was a super easy DIY!

[@Hyaphill]

They came out so cute. Last is my favorite 😁

[@dancersdigst1754]

Love these ideas! Now I have to see if they will look good on my top heavy self :)

[@karenstimson2683]

These are adorable! Brilliant ideas.

[@charlotteeshun1393]

Thrilled to see you again

[@CatherineSews]

Really enjoyed all your creative Ideas!

[@cashmonispen4380]

I have thrift in a while 😩😩 but honey I will be hitting it up soon 🤞🏼❤😂 Great job, my sewing bestie lol 🙌🏽😂❤

[@ladygreensleeves901]

Love your style 🥰

[@belyndamaniez9703]

And now I'm wondering why I don't own any graphic tee Time to look for it 👀 The Adidas one is so cool! Love the colour combination 🧡

[@deniseoates7147]

This was great! I bet you have inspired a lot of your followers to try one of these (t-shirt you in danger girl). I can not wait til I am able to do an upscale on one of my thrifted t-shirts. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.

[@Ellaodi]

As always....right on time just as i was trying to figure out how to make my tees cute so i can wear them out. Ruffle one is DEF happening and the zip idea is brilliannnnt

[@margaridamarques5234]

Friday Friday Friday! 💃💃💃💃💃💃🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

[@cinemaocd1752]

I am definitely going to make a peasant blouse out of an oversized white graphic t-shirt. I really like the shape of the first three, a slightly refined muscle t, like the Frankie Shop t-shirt that is so trendy right now.

[@jross008470]

Love the orange zipper! I was looking for a shirt to match my new Jordans. This is a super fun way to do it. Thanks for sharing! Definitely subscribing can not wait to see the next DIY

[@Linda-mp8co]

Fantastic ideas!!!! Thank you so much. In the middle of the first project now.

[@YGhappyvirus]

i've had a similar idea for upsizing shirts that are too small where you attach short ribbons or fabric panels in place of the side parts!

[@angelnumber0723]

I was thinking something similar to that but just using tshirt material in a matching color down each side to extend the size. But I don't know I'd that would work. I'm reyinf ri think of a way to keep the tshirt look intact rather than adding ribbons, elastic, grommets and shoelace or anything like that

[@corizipkin2673]

yes, i've done that with too-small tank tops and it works! Like a tuxedo stripe down the side straight down from the armpit.

[@DJoy222]

@@angelnumber0723 I've wanted to try something like this with my little girl's (4yo) shirts that I love, but don't fit her anymore!

[@katiebeantown7355]

YGhappyvirus, this is also a great hack for white button down shirts, even if they fit already, they fit so much nicer if you cut out a strip from the underarm down to the hemline and replace it with a ribbed cotton in a matching color.

[@raraavis7782]

Great ideas, as always! I'm 'Miss Sporty Chic', so the zipped one is right up my alley. Gonne make that one happen pronto.

[@MLLL1234]

Love the DIY...Favorite one was the Adidas one!

[@dawnmason9558]

Great ideas thanks Orly. Having lost 7 st I now have loads of T-shirt’s that are too big but I love them especially my Harry Potter ones

[@anitamorgan5021]

Orly my girls (11 and 14) and I are obsessed with your videos, we're binge watching them and feeling so inspired! I'm a breastfeeding mum, could you show some hacks to turn existing clothes into nursing clothes??

[@caljacobs3287]

Mkay going through my drawers and probably thrifting today cause WHAT I need all of them.

[@OrlysChannel]

I feel you :)

[@Steph_here]

They look awesome!

[@jillybean4899]

I just discoverd you today! Love your energy and creativity... thank you for sharing💜

[@OrlysChannel]

[@ras8031]

LOVE the hook and eye shirt!!

[@Alexin1066]

This was great inspiration I actually made the last top thank you 😊

[@jentan26]

Love love love! I have so many tees that I don’t wear - this would be great so i can finally make use of them.

[@OrlysChannel]

So glad!

[@toni5810]

The Jimi Hendrix bib shirt is my favorite!

[@TheKiddsPalace]

I can't wait to do this so easy but can we take the time out to appreciate the growth on the video editing skill I might have to watch a few classes on skillshare amazing all through and through

[@OrlysChannel]
