The perfect way to pimp your shorts? Add some lace!For one, it's cute. Second, it makes your legs look slimmer! (I kid you not.)What you'll need- a pair of shorts (found mine at H&M)- a strip of lace (found mine at Veritas) Extra: pair of scissors, a lighter, needle and threadTutorial
Step by step1) Measure the fabric, so you know how much lace you'll need2) Pin the lace onto the fabric3) Start sewing (off course you can use a sewing machine)4) Cut the lace when you are finished with sewing TIP: Do this when you're finished in order to prevent you'll end up with too little lace5) Burn the edges of the lace before sewing them together in order to prevent them from unravelingStay up to date of the latest Operation DIY projects through Facebook
Over the years I collected my share of lace fabrics. I even sometimes buy a shirt just because of a beautiful lace application with the intention to cut it out and make something totally different out of it.Also for this DIY I dug in my collection of lace and gave it a neon-spray-tan. Given that I am currently craving the neon trend, I need to restrain myself not to spray everything around me neon.I found these two fabrics at two totally different places. The first piece of fabric I found a while ago at a local fabric shop. The second one are old (and hideous) curtains my mom used to own. My brothers will be so pleased to see I put a pair of scissors in them. TutorialWhat you'll need- Lace TIP: Use white lace - I tried it with darker lace and it didn't work - Neon spray- Jewelry clasp- Chain extra : scissors, needle and thread, pliersStep by step
OPTION I 1) Cut out little patterns you find in the fabric 2) Place them together and sew them into a new pattern 3) Give it a spray 4) Add the chain and jewelry claspOPTION II 1) If you can find a pattern in the lace that suits your wishes, just cut it out as a whole 2) Spray it! 3) Add the chain and jewelry claspThe coolest part of it all is definitely the spraying part. I just love to give things a -neon- spray tan.Stay up to date of the latest Operation DIY posts through Facebook
