Do you ever walk into your closet and look around and say to yourself, “I have nothing to wear”. I do that all the time! At the beginning of summer I actually didn’t have any shorts to wear. Those joys of losing baby weight and clothes not fitting. I have a hard time finding shorts too because they are either capris or too short. I found a pair of navy flares that I love how they fit me around the waist, but don’t care for the flares. So I decided to turn them into a fun pair of shorts. I made these two months ago and they are by far my favorite pair of shorts right now. And they still look amazing.
Here are the pants before:
First thing I did was cut them at the knee and hemmed them up.
Then using white fabric paint and a pencil, I made the dots.
I carefully put the dots all over the pants. Then I waited a couple hours and painted the other side. Be careful that they don’t fold, or paint gets everywhere (I know that from experience). I then hung them up in my closet and let it dry for 24 hours before wearing them.
And this is what they look like on, I love them!
I love these! I too am struggling finding clothes while I lose baby weight..honestly right now I am wearing a maternity skirt and t-shirt…someone thought I was pregnant today! hahaha…oops 🙂 I am tall so I could totally find any ol' second hand pair of pants regardless of length and do this. I love the polka dots too!
So cute! I have a flared pair of jeans that I have been meaning to cut into shorts, and I think I might have to copy your polka dot idea. Such a fun and easy way to make them different without spending much. Great idea!
Nice !
