What can I make out of old button up shirts?
My mom and I were cleaning out my dad’s closet, and found a lot of beat up long sleeve button up shirts. Since I don’t really like throwing things away, I decided to keep them, and now they’re just a pile in my room. Can I remake them into something vintage-like? What else can I do?

if you alter them to make them a tad more womanly (but still loose) and change the buttons to brass military style ones, you would look totally hot wearing them with jeans, shorts etc.

dyr those shirt in another color!! or u can cut off the collar and wear it as a chocker. or cut off the cuffs and wear them as bracelets. there is this vide on YouTube, from the Threadbanger’s channel, where u can make underwear with a button up shirt. its cute cuz it has ruffles and the buttons go up and down the underwear. and there is a cute pocket in the back.

:) dont throw them away. Roll up the sleeves and wear them with shorts and a belt on around your lower waist. this looks super cute.
