Salute Your Shorts




Showing support for your country is always instyle!  And as the summer heats up quicker than you can say the Pledge of Allegiance, we are noticing are huge flag trend approaching us just in time for the 4th of July!  Today we made
First take a pair of denim cutoffs (available at Some Girls boutique!), the lighter the better, or if you are feeling daring try bleaching them first to get your stars and stripes to pop!

Next, stencil and cut some star shapes out of a thick paper ( as many or as little as you want) and securely tape them to one pant leg.

Fold the shorts in half and cover the rest of the areas (waistband, fly, upper pocket) in newspaper and tape securely to avoid getting paint on any unwanted areas.

Place on some newspaper, and with a royal blue, fast dry interior/exterior spray paint, carefully spray the left side of the shorts.  Make sure to hold about 6 inches way from the fabric and spray as much as you like to get the desired look.



Next, fold to the other side of the shorts and tape vertical stripes, as thick or as thin as you would like.  We used Frog Tape used for taping of walls, and cover the rest securely with newspaper.  Use a cherry red interior/exterior quick dry spray paint.


Let it sit for 15-20 minutes and remove taped off areas to reveal the finished product!
