SPIKED SHORTS.



Hey everybody! :) So remember those spikes I told you about? Yeah well I made some shorts with them!

Materials
-Scissors
-Spikes
-Your Camera Phone
-OPTIONAL tailor's chalk &Screw driver

this is what you do:
ok, so first you're gonna just lay your spikes on your shorts in the pattern that you're gonna screw them in. After you do that, take a picture of it! Then using your scissors, poke TINY holes in the right spot using the picture as a reference point so that you can now screw those spikes in (make the screws extra tight using a screwdriver). When you're done, go flaunt your hot new shorts!

PS- instead of taking a picture, you can mark off the spots where your spots are gonna go using the tailor's chalk.

Ok guys & gals, I'm currently working on new ideas so be patient! I just got some spikes in the mail yesterday and I'm busy trying to find inventive new ways to use them!

I really want this blog to be perfect for both you and I so I have to work with my new hardware for a little :-) I can't tell you exactly what I'm working on QUITE YET, but when I do, your socks will be completely rocked off.

How About You DO IT YOURSELF : cutout skull tees

WOW, isnt this shirt amazeballs?? Well I'm gonna show you how to make it! This is what you're gonna need:
-Scissors
-tailor's chalk (or you could use a marker, but I'd suggest tailors chalk since it IS cheap.. you could probably even use regular chalk, but I've never tried using regular chalk so if you do, tell me how it worked out for you!)
-A flat surface
-A shirt you dont mind cutting up
-you dont really need it but here's a template if you WANT it. http://images.coplusk.net/project_images/37637/image/full_skull1.jpg THE OTHER HALF http://images.coplusk.net/project_images/37638/image/full_skull2.jpg
-IMAGINATION
-whatever other doohickies you'd like to add :3

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.
-either sketch out where you're going to cut, or use the template & trace
-cut out your holes
-I suggest stretching where you cut so you can hide any uneven spots
-wear the heck out of your shirt!

Okay that was a REALLY easy tutorial, I'm pretty sure I KNOW that you can do it :-)

please comment below & tell me how yours came out & tell me what you wanna read on my blog next!

How about you do it yourself: Lace Shorts

Hai guys!
So over the weekend I went to this mall in Myrtle Beach & saw the CUTEST SHORTS EVER in American Eagle. They were these denim shortie shorts with lace on the side! Sadly, they were a bit more than I was willing to pay at the moment (about $36.95, correct me if I have the price wrong). So I came up with the BEST IDEA EVER: MAKE MY OWN SHORTS. Now I'd like to share with you all on how to make your own :)
 BTW THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE:

This is what you will need !
-Some denim shorts (or if you're extra cheap like me, just cut some old jeans!)
-lace (get it from any craft store, I really reccomend that you get it in a triangular shape!)
-fabric glue, OR hot glue (but I highly reccomend fabric glue)if you suck at sewing like I do, or you can sew it (if you got dem skillz!)
-scissors to clean up any messups
-OPTIONAL pins, just in case you wanna pin it to make sure its positioned correctly
-and of course, IMAGINATION

Let's get started!
-so first you're going to take your shorts/the jeans you cut (check out youtube if you need extra help) and lay them so the left and right side (where the seam is) ARE FLAT.
-then you're gonna cut a nice V-Shape in the side (dont go TOO deep, we don't want our entire thigh out now do we?)
-on that v-shape you just cut, you're gonna take your fabric glue, put it around the edges of the LACE and then press tightly onto the shorts so they can have bonding time ;-).
-then you can clean up whatever cray-cray edges you may have
-FINALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, go flaunt your gorgeous new shorts :-)

BY THE WAY, you CAN wash these shorts because fabric glue is permanent. This is why it's better that hot glue. While it is permanent, it might not be as sturdy or it might start bleeding through the fabric if its a bit thin...YIKES.

Peace out girl scouts!
