These straps were driving me crazy... here's the fix. I'm going to show you how to shorten these straps so these dingleberries, I call these my dingleberries, don't show. This is my favorite Zara Peplum tank top You will need a needle, thread and scissors Start with the back strap of the tank top Find the center of the strap and poke through from the back Poke another stitch about half an inch away from the bottom from the front this time Repeat again poking it right about half an inch right above the stitch It'll start creating this diagonal line on the edge of the strap and you just go across the other side, crisscrossing to the other side The end result should look like this I chose three stitches, but if you want it shorter, you could add more stitches Once you're done, pull the thread and it'll create the scrunch look with this really cute braided pattern Finish it off by tying a knot at the top And the strap should look like this And this is how it looks from the back And yay! Look at my straps are shorter and you can't see my dingleberries! Thanks for sticking around till the end! 😘❤️

Transcript

I'm going to show you how to shorten these straps so these dingleberries, I call these my dingleberries, don't show. This is my favorite Zara Peplum tank top. You will need a needle, thread and scissors. Start with the back strap of the tank top. Find the center of the strap and poke through from the back. Poke another stitch about half an inch away from the bottom from the front this time. Repeat again poking it right about half an inch right above the stitch. It'll start creating this diagonal line on the edge of the strap and you just go across the other side, crisscrossing to the other side. The end result should look like this. I chose three stitches, but if you want it shorter, you could add more stitches. Once you're done, pull the thread and it'll create the scrunch look with this really cute braided pattern. Finish it off by tying a knot at the top. And the strap should look like this. And this is how it looks from the back. And yay! Look at my straps are shorter and you can't see my dingleberries! Thanks for sticking around till the end! 😘❤️
