DIY: Festival Shorts

It's that time of year again! Music Festivals galore starting with the famous Coachella! I hope you are all pumped just as much as I am.  I've decided to do a fun little DIY on festival shorts that are flirty, fun and cute.

What you will need are some basic shorts and scarf that you no longer care for. 

In addition, fabric glue, scissors and brads

You will place the scarf on top of either side of the shorts and pin in it . 

Keep the pins in place as you cut along to the shape of the shorts. 

Now, get the fabric glue and trace the outline of the area.

Place the fabric on top and firmly pat it down. You can also add a fun trim. (My old scarf had a crochet trim that I decided to use on the seam of the pocket.) 

To add the brads you will need to snip a couple of holes wherever you like. 

 Simply push through the brad into the denim. 

Notice that the edges go through the fabric, so I added the excess fabric from my old scarf so as to not scrape or cut my leg. 

You are now all set to go !  I hope you had fun transforming plain old jean shorts into something fun and trendy.  

See you all at Coachella!

HOW TO: Make A Floral Crown (No Glue Needed!)

Whether you're attending a music festival or doing an egg hunt, nothing spices up an outfit more than a floral headband.  Although we've seen them so often in the past years, they always seem to come back.  I'm a bit of a risk taker, and love accentuating my outfits with a bold statement piece.  Thus, my spring time wouldn't be complete without a floral headband!  You've seen them everywhere including stores and online, but if you don't know me already, I'm a sucker for DIYs.  Forget the glue gun and headband, I'll be showing you the easiest way to make a floral crown.

DIY Saint Patrick's Day Shirt

With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner a ton of retailers are bringing out their festive apparel. Instead of buying the same shirt that everyone else would be wearing, I found a fun way to make a one of a kind shirt. It's super simple, and I also found a fun way to make it even more unique!

DIY: Heart Shaped Elbow Pads

Hi all! This weekend I did some spring cleaning and little did I remember owning a plain J. Crew sweater.  I got it two summers ago and only put it to good use twice.  I decided to put my little crafting to the test and throw some heart shaped elbow pads. It's so easy to do and makes any dull sweater looking like new!
