DIY Rainbow Shorts

Hello everyone,

Long time no post - sorry!

My vacation started last friday and in a couple of days I'm going to California! I can't wait! AHHH!

Oh well, to get back to what this post is about - the shorts!

STEP ONE


Find a pair of jeans that you are willing to mess up. Try them on and make marks where you want to cut them. Make sure not to cut them too short, trust me! Been there, done that - NOT going back!



STEP TWO


Poor bleach and water in a bucket and let it work. The bleach will pull out the colour from the jeans and make them less blue.




STEP THREE


Find the different colours you want to use and mix with water.
Lay the shorts on a big piece of plastic. Make sure there is enough space on the plastic to turn the shorts so that you can colour the back of the shorts.



STEP FOUR


Start colouring the shorts in the different colours you want. ADVICE! Do NOT start with red in the middle - of you know what I mean girls ;-) I started with yellow and after that red and mixed thoose two so I got orange. After that red again and then purple and blue. After blue was green and then yellow, and so on.


After they are 90 % dry you can put them in the washer and then in the dryer.





Be VERY(!!) careful then you turn over the shorts - the colours may leak and can ruin the shorts completely!



And you are now the happy owner of a pair of Rainbow shorts!

Good luck!




Love always,

Camille
