Emblished Shorts Hot Hot Hot!!!!

 

This summers hottest trend is the embellished short. Be it a high waist or boyfriend fit. This trend will have you feeling artsy and super unique using studs, dye and patches. So grab your glue gun, a pair of sheers and a lose pair of denim shorts because summer is quickly coming your way.

Check out some inspiration pics and this handy do it your self from Who What Wear!!!!


Directions:
1.    Use a ruler and a pencil to draw a diagonal grid pattern on your shorts. The size of the grid and spacing depends on your preference. (Note: our lines are approximately half an inch apart.)

2.    Using the white puffy paint, trace over the pencil-line grid. Wait approximately an hour for the puffy paint to dry completely.

3.    Once the puffy paint is dry, dip a real or fake flower into fabric paint to create a stamp. Stamp the flower directly onto the shorts in a diagonal pattern. We used about nine to 10 stamps per each leg or  shorts. Wait approximately one hour for fabric paint to dry.

4.    Once fabric paint is dry, use fabric glue to secure the large paillette sequins to the center of each "flower" stamp. Wait 15-20 minutes for the sequins to dry.

5.     Once all of the paillette sequins are in place and dry, glue the larger, 24mm gems to the center of each paillette.

6.    Glue the smaller, 14mm gems between each "flower" shape. We used approximately five to six per each leg of the shorts.

7.     Allow to completely dry before wearing.
