Take any t-shirt that you want to reinvent, scissor, and a stitching material. To start, fold your t-shirt in such a way that both the sleeves of it overlap each other. After folding it carefully cut down the sleeves with the help of scissor in an equal share. Open the fold and cut the back in a shape to give it a proper Tank top look.
