Learn How to Make A DIY Crop Top Out Of Leggings

by Jessica Thomas

Summer is officially here, and that means it's time to start preparing for the weather to get hot. Dressing for warm weather can be a challenge, but one of the best ways to cool down is by wearing a (tasteful) crop top. Thanks to this handy video, you can create a brand new crop top out of leggings you have lying around your house.

There are a million DIY clothing tutorials out there, from cut-off shorts to DIY leggings, but this is one you won't see every day. Youtube channel Handimania posted a video that shows you how easy it is to take a pair of leggings and transform them into a bodycon crop top, no sewing required.

Simply lay your leggings on a flat surface and fold them in half lengthwise. Using a sharp pair of scissors, cut a small hole in the seat, which will stretch to be the neckline of the top. The legs become the sleeves of your top, and the waistband keeps the crop top fitted.

From there, you can adjust the sleeve length and neckline of the crop top to fit your taste. This can be done with any kind of leggings, from plain black ones to cute patterned pairs like the ones in the video.

Ten minutes later, you'll have a new addition to your wardrobe. Now, all you need to know is how to style your crop top.
