When game day is around the corner, you want to stand out with a fun DIY Ribbon Game Day Shirt. My sister and I were shopping the day before the Super Bowl and she was determined to find herself a 49ers top. She normally is not a 49ers fan, but felt that she should support them since they won her fantasy football championship for her. We looked everywhere, but 49er gear is not that popular in Florida. She found kids shirt for a decent price, but did not like the fit. I promised to help her modify it to her liking.
Step 1
Step 2
Cut tiny holes along the edge of the shirt about an inch in between each ribbon hole and about a 1/3 inch to a half an inch from the edge.
Step 3
Lace the ribbon through the holes from the top of the shirt to to the bottom using under lacing technique and showing the printed side of the ribbon as much as possible as you lace. Since I cut the holes so tiny, I sometimes had to fold the ribbon so that it would fit through the holes.
Step 4
Make a bow at the bottom of the shirt.
Step 5
Step 6
If you also don’t love the sleeve length, feel free to cut them or roll them up. The roll can be permanent with 2 quick hand stiches similar to the ones used for the jean cuffs here. I chose not to do it as we were making this the day of the Super Bowl and did not have a ton of time.

That is really cute. I think I might do that to my daughter’s My Little Pony Shirt. 😀
Very Cute!
I’ve seen those and I was wondering how they were made. Very cute and so much easier than I thought!
I really love how you took a standard tshirt and put some amazing girly touches on it. I would LOVE a Dallas Cowboys one just in time for next season.
That is awesome. I love how it turned out.
Very cool! And so easy. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
love it! We love the ravens in our house 🙂
How creative and ol’ so cute!
That is really cool! Great job!
Wow so simple and creative. I am not crafty but I’m going to have to try this.
Let me know if you have any questions along the way.
Very cute!
How creative! Love the braid.
so cute and simple!! I need to do this because I can barely find girl sports shirts so this would make the men’s shirts I have to wear a lot more girly!
It really does make it more girly! T-shirt can be so boring! 🙂
very innovative! Would you need to serge or zig zag the top of the shirt so it doesn’t fray after you cut the scoop?
It hasn’t frayed yet. T-shirt material really does need it, but you can do it for safety sake.
That is so clever and cute!
That is very very cute!!!
Okay I seriously love this. It will come in very handy when my Granddaughter is older! Thanks for the instructions to this totally cute t-shirt.
