DIY Summer Shorts
As summer approaches, so does the warm weather which brings along spring fashion. A way to be stylish, eco-friendly, and save money this season is to make your own jean shorts with some simple materials lying around your house.
Materials:
- Jeans
- Chalk
- Fabric scissors
- Exacto Knife
- Tweezers
Step One:
Find some old jeans that are not too tight near the thighs. This is so that the shorts will not be uncomfortable to wear.
Step Two:
Take the jeans and place a pair of good shorts on top to get a good length. Then trace a line where the shorts end with the chalk.
Step Three:
Cut the shorts. I cut just a little below the line just in case I need to redo anything. I then tried them on to see if they fit.
Step Four:
I chose to make the shorts a little more stylish by distressing them. I started by using the chalk and mapping out where I want the rips. Then I cut slits into the jeans with an exacto knife and a magazine inside the pant leg. This is so the knife will not cut all the way through the pants. Next I took the tweezers and pulled out the threads.
Step Five:
Fold the ends of the shorts and iron them to make the ends look cleaner.
Step Six:
Put them on and show off your new cute shorts.
I hope this cheap and eco-friendly DIY can make this spring and summer season more fashionable.
