4th of July is this week and if you are like me, you have little to nothing in your closet to show American Pride. So I decided to do a simple DIY to solve this dilemma... American flag cut off shorts!
So here's what you got to do:
 |
| first of all you need some shorts. I made these cut-offs from an old pair of jeans. |
 |
next you need to find/buy some paint and paint brushes. this is all I found in my house .
tip: don't use the spray. it gets messy and difficult. stick to regular paint if you can. |
 |
| paint the left side blue and the right side white |
 |
| draw an outline for your stars on the blue half of the shorts and begin painting them white |
 |
| as you can see I'm not the best at stars, but they work just fine |
 |
| draw evenly spaced out lines on the white half and paint every other section red |
 |
| this is what they looked like when I finished painting |
 |
| I then threw them in the wash and they came out with this great distressed look |
So there you go! Have fun and happy 4th of July!
