DIY shorts tutorial

I got a lot of specific questions so here’s exactly what I did

  • I cut the shorts with scissors and used the scissors to fray the edges by running the end of the shorts against the scissors.
  • I distressed the holes by either cutting a line across with scissors or using my seam ripper. I did both and I think the seam ripper makes it look better and not just a hole I also got a cheese grater and just ran it across the holes that I got to rough it up. I’ve heard using sandpaper is really good, but I’ve never done it. 
  • After you make your holes, you have to wash/dry it, that’s how it really gets distressed by being in the washer and dryer.
  • I got my studs of etsy a while ago and I use pliers to pin the tongs in the back down. You can buy studs at a craft store or ebay or etsy or specific stud stores online
  • I got these specific shorts at Salvation Army

The coloring is really off but these are my DIY Purple High Waist Shorts! I cut them short, distressed them and added studs to the pockets. You can’t really tell but it’s like a deep lavender color. Shorts are L.E.I and I bought them for $1!

Finally got around to doing that crayon explosion project that I’ve been seeing around Tumblr! It was really easy but it just took some time. I like it, it’s not as great as some of the ones I’ve seen but I’ve seen really ad ones too so I think it’s kinda in the middle. It’s definitely interesting to look at!

This is pretty much what I’ve been doing this past week: making skirts out of bright tank tops that I never wear. I’ve really been wanting to color block an outfit but I realized I don’t have a lot of color in my closet. Anyway its a super easy DIY all you basically have to do is cut under the arms and add elastic into the hem (:
