Turn
your pants
into a skirt!
All the materials you'll need:
- jeans
- box of safety pins
- scissors
- colorful fabric
1. With pants on a flat surface, fold legs, matching them up, one on top
of the other. Cut off 8 to 12 inches from the bottom hem of the pants. The
smaller the number of inches, the longer your skirt will be. |
2. Unfold legs and cut the inseam starting at the bottom and cutting
upward, stopping at the bottom of the zipper.
3. Lay pants flat, placing flap from right
pant leg on top of the other pant leg, creating an upside down
"V" shape in the middle of the skirt.
4. Place any
piece of colorful fabric in the center and cut it to the "V" shape, making it two inches bigger
on all sides, then position inside the cut-out shape in the center of skirt. |
5. Place fabric under the skirt and start
safety-pinning at the bottom of the zipper working down each side until both sides of fabric are attached.
Place safety pins 1/2 inch apart and make sure you pin through both the
fabric and the jeans.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the
backside of the skirt. |
Turn your shoes
into
wearable works of art!
Grab a pair of shoes that you don't wear too often and let them bring out
the artist in you! Get some paint, brushes, and any other materials you'd
like to add to them to show off your own unique and creative style. We used
brightly colored paint and stick on gems, but you can use other materials
like: buttons, glitter, silk flowers, patches, etc. Then paint and decorate
the shoes however you'd like; the possibilities are endless. You can even
decorate them to match your favorite outfit, and don't forget to add some
funky laces! You'll have completely unique shoes that are guaranteed to
make a smashing fashion statement! |
