Cut the bottom seem off. If the shirt is really long, you can use this to your advantage. The longer the shirt the longer the fringe. You can always trim it down later.

Your going to cut right up the middle of the shirt. I cut mine a little higher than half way up the shirt. If you want more of your mid section to show cut higher if you want less to show cut lower.

Start cutting your fringe. I cut 1/4 inch sections,cutting through both sides (front & back of shirt). I cut the right side first then moved to the other side.

This is always my favorite part! Cutting off the collar! The deeper or wider you cut, the wider the collar will be. Think about this part.... Do you want to be more flash dance or more conservative??

I cut two strips from the sleeve's I cut off.I tied one strip on the top of each of the shoulders in a bow. This made it look a little more feminine.
