Bathing Suit from Leggings
Your probably thinking "Waaatttt" well yes...I will show you how to make a super cute bathing suit from leggings.
**Don't want to read the video is here--}} DIY
You'll need
-Leggings
-scissors
-Fabric glue or needle and thread
Start by putting on your leggings and marking off where you will cut. For this part you will basically be cutting your leggings into shorts(cut slightly longer). Next you can hem up the shorts so it looks neat and sew or use fabric glue. With the other part of the leggings you cut off you simply sew the widest part inside the waist band of the shorts. Sew the end of the leggings together and that part should rest on the back of your neck.
Thats it!!! Again link to the video is above, I tried to explain as best as I could! The cool part about this is you can create a unique bathing suit thats one of a kind!

Spiked Collar Shirt
What you'll need
- Collared shirt(any color)
-Spikes(Silver Spikes

Heart Pattern Shorts
Simple simple simple! That's what these shorts are! I saw some heart pattern jeans on Pintrest and got inspired ;)
What you'll need
-Shorts
-Rub a Dub Fabric Marker- Buy Here--}} Sharpie Rub-A-Dub Laundry Marker
I basically winged it and drew hearts with the marker which was very easy. But you can also use a heart stencil. I chose to make small hearts but do what you like. I drew them on the front and on one back pocket. I don't have a video for this yet and it won't really require one but I may make one anyway. Also I distressed my shorts a little by cutting slits and then washing them.

DIY Lace and Studded Shorts
I went through a crazy "stud everything" phase. I still love studded clothing, I just don't do much DIY'S with them like I used too. But here's some lace and studded shorts you can try!
Things you'll need
- shorts
-scissors
-lace
-e6000 glue,fabric glue or needle and thread
-studs
As always I won't leave you hanging here's the links to the items I used. For this DIY I used Aileen's fabric glue, but e6000 will work or you can choose the non lazy way and sew lol.
Link to Aileens fabric glue-Aleene's Fabric Glue
Link to e6000- E6000
Link to studs- Silver Studs
First you can add the studs if you choose to. I just applied them randomly to one side of the shorts. Before you apply the studs it's a good idea to put some form of glue on the spot first then put the stud on. This just adds extra support so the studs won't come off. Evernthough the studs have prongs from my experience they still tend to come off without glue. I used e6000 for that part.
Next I took a piece of lace which I cut from a shirt I dont wear( you can purchase at a fabric store). I measured the piece making it slightly bigger than the part of the shorts I was applying it too. Then you can choose to sew or glue like I did ;)
See kids it's that easy!

DIY Fringe Shirt
Got a Tshirt, scissors and about 10 minutes....
Here ya go!
Super simple and cute DIY Fringe Shirt
STEPS
\I cut off the seams from the sleeves and the bottom part of my shirt. I also made mine an off the shoulder shirt (optional) by cutting off the neckline.
Next I cut slits from the bottom of the shirt going up to desired length. Then you simply stretch out all the slits you cut, tie little knots on the end and your done!!
TIPS
*Make fringes longer by cutting the slits higher.
*Add some beads to the ends for a little extra flair
As usual the video of this DIY is on my YouTube --DIY FRINGE SHIRT

Spiked Beanie and Gloves
Winter is definitely around the corner! So if you want a cute and simple way to spice up those plain hats and gloves through some spikes on that bishhhhh lol
I basically used spikes, e6000 glue and gloves and beanie of my choice. The gloves and beanie were $1 each and I purchased the spikes and glue on amazon. Click titles if you want to purchase :)
E6000®
SZD 100pcs/set 9.5mm Silver Cone Spikes
I made tiny hole in the area of the glove and beanie where I wanted the spike at. Pushed the flat screw part through the back and before screwing in the spike part I applied E6000 glue on the screw part. The glue just assures that your screws will stay put, continue until you are satisfied with your pattern. It's super simple!
I also have a video on youtube showing you in case the instructions were confusing ;)

Tribal shorts
So the whole distressed, crazy print bleached shorts fad took over summer... And its still not letting up. Personally I don't wear much shorts unfortunately I hate my legs. Buutttttt I love creating them!
Although fall is here and winter is right around the corner, you can always prep for next summer and start spicing up those shorts! You will definitely see a lot of DIY shorts over in these parts lol and here is my take on some tribal print shorts.All you need are some shorts, a fabric marker and imagination (aka Google) Or better yet YouTube since I've actually made a video on DIY shorts using a fabric marker... Shameless plug :)Anyway here they are, super easy and fun to make. These are just using the fabric marker, which by the way you can use on all fabric and actually wash. The marker won't run or ruin your clothes when you wash them either. Oh did I mention how damn cheap they are to make?
So I basically winged it and just drew a tribal design on my shorts. You can either print out a tribal design and use as a stencil or look up a design and copy or use for inspiration. Take your time drawing the design because once you draw a line there's no turning back and it won't erase.
Have fun guys, and the link to my YouTube is DIY TRIBAL SHORTS
