Balmain Slashed Army T-Shirt DIY

Balmain Slashed Army T-shirt $1,626 ~ Net-A-Porter.com & Balmain Spring 2010 Runway photos



Men's oversized T-shirt {this is a Medium, Dickies, but any will do}, Sharp Scissors, Rit dye {I couldn't find an army/olive green so I had to create my own with Dark Green, Golden Yellow, & Taupe}, Salt, Bucket {or sink/tub}, Mixing spoon, detergent, water



CAREFULLY slash, cut up & destroy t-shirt. Use your hands to physically pull slashes apart creating holes. *Don't cut a round hole with scissors or it won't look distressed. You want the edges of the hole to fray a bit and look worn.

...see video below for further demonstration



Time to dip dye. Follow instructions on Rit Dye boxes. I mixed the green and yellow together first and left shirt in for only a couple of minutes


removed and rinsed . . .



poured out the green mix and created a . . .



left and stirred shirt in taupe dye mix for about five minutes









more destroying action ...don't forget to stretch out the neck & sleeves



Of course, you could always just skip the dying step altogether and buy a T-shirt that's already olive/army green ...however, it won't be as fun ;)
