D.I.Y Day 1# American Flag Shorts

Old Jean: New Look

So after lusting after everyone Topshop American Flag short's I decided to try making my own, I will be making another pair soon (another tutorial for those too). I know that a heap of you love making things and really loved the shorts too, so I hope my videos and photos help you in making yours. This D.I.Y is a paint one, but the next one will be different (and even easier).

Things you will need:

• Acrylic Paint 
• Scissors
• Plastic table cloth
• Paint brush
• Old postcard (or star Stencil)
• Jeans (unloved ones are perfect give them new life)
• Cup of water (this is if you would like the paint to look more worn)

So here are my videos one is stupidly short and the other is long (still getting use to Youtube) and photos of the end result. I really hope this well help you and that you will just give it ago, they are not perfect but they cost me nothing (I had all the stuff already, plus I saved a pair of jeans I would have throw). I had fun making them, and the videos I think on my next D.I.Y I will set up stuff more as my camera failed. So let me know if you make them, and I hope you will like this new feature if you have any questions than leave a comment and I will get back to you.

    Hello to my new readers, I hope you are enjoying the randomness I can't believe the weekend is over already I hope you had a good one. I will be starting some new D.I.Ys on the weekend, I have to fit them in when I get some free time (which is hardly ever). Anyway let me know what you think, I know these are a bit crappy but it's great fun ( to be honest I wear a lot of rubbish anyway so no different there).


If your after more D.I.Y inspiration head over to Steph's blog, she has done a heap of totally awesome ones (sound like the turtle from finding Nemo) I want her cross top!
