Flag Tank with A Braided Back: DIY

 Flag Shirts are so much fun to make and I have made a few over the last 5 years.
I saw this shirt at  Charlotte Russe and thought it would make a great DIY.
Why not grab a friend and spend an afternoon creating something you love.


 I also did a Video Tutorial for this shirt
