MOST REQUESTED DIY!! Upcycle Jeans into DOPE Denim Tank - By Orly Shani

Check out Angelina's video! - • 4 Really Cool Ways to ...
This tank top has been one of my most highly requested DIY's ever!!
I took $3 men's jeans from the thrift store and turned them into a custom tank top!
If you're making a short tank, you can use one pair, if you want something a little longer, you will need 2 pairs of jeans.
Make sure they both have the same style inseam so that it will match up on the front and back.
You can mix colors, or find a matching pair.
Let me know if you have any questions?!

When I remake something that I design I use brown paper bag to make a pattern, it saves me a lot of frustration,lol. Great Tips, Tops.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

oh that's smart!

[@trixiedoll72]

Thanks for the tip on making patterns

[@335stef]

Evelyn J. Amponsah I was thinking I need newspaper to make a pattern. I like this idea better. Home Depot‼️

[@jrosebush22]

LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this idea! This can also be used as a vest if it’s shorter in length, with a short ruffled sleeve blouse underneath.

[@sarahdeason493]

Loved. Loved, Loved...So glad to see calab with Angelina...Love you both so much !!!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Isn;t she amazing?

[@sarahdeason493]

@@TheDIYDesigner ...Yes she is and so are you !!!!

[@goodwillbunny5773]

Yes!!! Love it. You are a gifted designer. Please do more with denim. Can you make a little clutch or media bag for a cell phone out of the scraps of leftover denim? Maybe add a touch of prairie print binding or piping? Prairie is a big look in 2019. (from Grandma Bunny in Phoenix).

[@TheDIYDesigner]

ooooh love these ideas!!

[@thebradoctor]

My 2 favorite fashion DIYERS collab..... you ladies made my day! Encore!!!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Aw I'm so glad! She is amazing.

[@sampleworks9432]

Love it! Excited to see you do a collaboration with Angelina too. She is another fearless creative like you ❤️. Have a great week

[@TheDIYDesigner]

She sure is. Love her!

[@cathyifeji-phillips1115]

Love this DIY! Cool way to show your personal style and make use of old jeans.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Thank you!

[@lifeofaimee6259]

OMG the ideas!!! I actually purchased some denims in a thrift store today to try the denim skirt but now I want to try this also!!!!

[@towandaatasteoffashion]

This is super neat , stylish & trendy!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thank you!

[@brendabaum6442]

LOVE Angelina! She is soooo cutting edge...teehee! What a great collab!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

I love her!!

[@Astavy08]

can you do a video of jow you were tought to do the darts?

[@lauragraves4342]

I was darting around everywhere looking for this comment!! Lol

[@Rao_anjaliyadav]

Thanks dear.... I have many jeans of my husband. You give me a great idea. Love u 😘😘

[@catherinehernandez2935]

I haven't really been into DIY myself, but I really am loving the content and work you create! It's always well planned out and beautifully made. Looking forward to everything that's coming for you

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Thank you Catherine, I appreciate that. xoxo

[@marciamartins1992]

So cool and I love Angelina too.

[@kiahjackson5932]

That’s insane! I definitely want to give this a go! I’ll probably finish the edges off though so that I can wear it to work!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

super simpe extra step! do it!

[@gabymiranda5593]

Just amazing as always... cute stylish denim tanks 😱... you are so talented. You look beautiful Orly😍

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thankyou!

[@GoldenSnoopy.]

This was such a fun colab! I found Angelina's channel a little bit back right around when you posted the reverse tye die video! She has a video turning a hoodie into a cold shoulder sweater with a zipper so that you can wear it either way and I've been dying to combine those two DIYs since I watched them!! Also, my two year old found your intro hilarious and she keeps asking me to play it again just one more time, but over and over again.

[@hintoeirian8475]

Angelina sent me here, trust her opinion so here I am. Already subscribed. Can’t wait to see more!

[@fallonclouatre7934]

Love, LOVE your channel! I adore designer clothes and DIY. I want to be the belle of the ball but have a paupers pocketbook. Thank you so much for helping my dreams come true! ❤

[@marigoldcarter5995]

Omg im a hippie from the 70s why did we not think of this???!!! Groovy! You rock babe!

[@hollym5873]

This is so cute and very unique. Not seeing anyone else in this shirt.

[@angelsmith4467]

Awesome 👏 what a cute collaboration. Glad to know someone else loves real camo pants and fun tees😍

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

I am 'doubly' excited to make this!!!! Our thrift stores here (Canada) charges a minimum of $10.99 CDN per pair of used jeans (about $7.85 USD) and if they happen to be a name brand they charge even more - I know...ridiculous! Anyhooooo! Still really cheap for something unique! Now to learn how to do darts for my big twin girls - tee hee!

[@soulsisterssurvivorssister8463]

Great design! And you learned a new technique for darts too boot!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

right!? I needed that lesson lol

[@kylierigby1953]

Love anything denim!! Fantastic make!!! Thanks for giving us attainable clothing items. Cheers from Australia.😀

[@rosek5499]

Awesome! I think you could do so many different versions of this!...like you ad patches or put the zipper on the front to wear it as a shirt or vest, or as you said make it longer as a dres. And even add your flower pattern you did on the jeans!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

absolutley. This is just the started... go nuts!!

[@MyTaylordCloset]

I love you and Angelina y'all both did amazing jobs. I have a basket of my husband's old jeans and this will be a perfect project to do.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

[@queeniebaggins3732]

For my body shape I would add a V neck and an asymmetrical peplum 👍

[@AllThePeppermint]

Queenie Baggins, great idea! For my body shape, I would make it a sweetheart neckline or a ballet neckline.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Oh I LOOOOVE that!

[@ChibiChula]

Yeah, I always love a V-neck though I've never liked peplum at all. I'd probably keep it long and add slightly to the sides (or just find flared jeans) to go A-line.

[@karlenwilson2909]

I was under the impression that darts could be anywhere as long as they end within the bust circle. I'm a new sewist and would love to hear what the tailor had to say about it. Came out super cute!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

She helped me on a few items and she kept pulling the fabric DOWN do the underarm almost. So they went straight from the underarm to the nipple, they weren't angled at all.

[@raraavis7782]

Very cool, especially with the frayed edges. Like it!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Thanks! that's my favorite part too.

[@Peace.]

I appreciate your transparency! Fabulous job 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

The top came out cute Orly. It looks great on you, but I'm leaning more towards the dress idea for me. Thanks for the inspiration. Now I'm heading over to see what Angelina is up to. P.S. Love these collaborations.

Love this you are amazing. Everything fits you perfectly. And yes I agree with you on Blueprint DIY. I’m not able to leave a comment on her page. Her creativity is out of this world she’s fantastic. Both of you ladies are gifted.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

yes, she said it's because she used to have a channel with her young daughter and for right now, they suspended comments on all channels featuring children.

[@claudiamatthews7206]

Thank you for that information. You guys are great creators. Keep up the great work you’re doing. I am learning sooooo much.

[@1VampieNight]

Omg you keep collabing with my other fav DIYers!!!!!! I loved it! 🖤💋

[@TheDIYDesigner]

it's a fun little community ;)

[@sophiaa5369]

You could also make it with the zipper in the front. It would be a completely different look but I think it would also be cool.

[@krazykid197]

I love the cola and the censorship creativity. Also the transparency with where you need help and how you got help. It makes KZbinr look human and the thing to u do look possible (I never thought it was impossible but always wondered “what if”.) thank you
