DIY// Americana shorts

Hey guys! I have a brand new DIY for you!! I am SO stoked about this. This was probably one of my favorite projects I've ever made for you. It was really fun, and it definitely put me in the mood to set off some fireworks down by the lake. But it's not quite the 4th yet, so in mean time, why don't you make these to wear on America's 236th birthday? Ingredients:- Cut off shorts- Cardboard/Heavy weight paper/Folder (Something sturdy you can cut your stars out with. Normal paper will not work for this project.)- Tye dye in blue and red- Spray bottles- Tape (Painters or Scotch will work fine.)Prep your shorts: Cut out as many stars as you would like to have on your shorts. Search for star patterns on Goggle. Then print and trace onto your card stock, or whatever you are using, and cut them out. Play around with placement until you have the look you like. Use some Scotch tape to stick them on the shorts. Tape off your stripes with some painters tape or Scotch tape. Obviously, I used used normal clear office tape. You'll see below that it worked really well.Cover one side with a plastic bag or garbage bag, and spritz one side with the dye until the whole side is covered evenly. Repeat for each side. Gently remove the stars and tape from your shorts and let dry for 24 hours.You can throw them in the wash if you want a more faded look, or keep as is for darker colors. Outfit post coming up after this one!
