Spots Spots Spots

June 21, 2012

These shorts have really been on quite the journey…I hope Gap doesn’t mind!  Today’s post is the last stop for them though!  I wanted them to go out with a bang, and I wanted to try this diy project that I pinned…so it was a win-win situation.

This project wasn’t too bad…but it was time consuming!

Some tips to consider: Make sure you have a great fabric pen!  Try doing the spots by freehand (It really wasn’t bad, and probably saved lots of time!)  Also, I tried using the fabric pen to outline a spot, then I went back and filled it in with fabric paint.  The fabric paint turned out darker than the marker, so if you think something is wrong with your computer while looking at these shorts, it’s not you, it’s me.

One final look at this short journey…

Hmmm…maybe next I’ll pick up a shirt from the thrift store and have some fun with it!

jacket (Gap), shirt, shorts (Gap) – thrifted // bracelets – vintage and the “spikey one” from Oh So Glam (I won a Stella and Dot giveaway!!! And thanks, Tara!)
