How do you tatter a shirt?

To tatter a shirt, start by choosing an old or inexpensive shirt to avoid damaging a favorite piece. Use scissors to cut small slits or frays along the edges, seams, and sleeves, varying the size and depth for a more natural look. You can also use sandpaper or a cheese grater to distress the fabric further. Finish by washing the shirt to help soften the fabric and enhance the tattered appearance.
