DIY: Turn your boring loose pants to a fashionable shorts :)

This post is all about the things that was keeping me busy for this past few days, haha,.

(naboring ako maginternet maghapon so, I came up to an idea na mag recycle ng mga pants na hindi na nagagamit :)).....

So yeah, let me just show you the pictures of the jeans after I cut it (I forgot to take picture of the actual jeans. sayang).



As you can see, I cut the jeans Slant for different look and style(maiba naman) 

And here's how it looks when worn:

And the finished look:
(pardon my siblings faces, they want exposure! hahaha)



If you wanna know how I did this then keep reading this post :)

MATERIALS :
Scissors
Old Pants
Fabric Dye(Joboss)
Thread & Needle (optional)
Bleach

PROCEDURE: :)


1. Cut the Pants to your desired length.
Tip: You can use your favorite shorts as your guide for cutting, or you can wear the pants first and mark where you want to cut it.


2. Sew the edges.
If you want more ragged look, you can skip the sewing part :)

3.Bleach the Jeans if necessary.
If you are using white pants, then your good to proceed to step 4, but if you are using colored jeans, you can bleach that by soaking the jeans to a water with bleach and leave it there at least overnight. until you get the color you desired.

4. Dyeing (favorite part)
Dissolve your fabric dye in a boiling water  mixed with some rock salt and some vinegar.
TIP: If you want two toned short, like what I did,  then don't soak the short into the dye mixture, instead, transfer the dye mixture to a small bottle container, this way, you can control the distribution of color to the fabric, only put color to the portion you want to have that color, and leave a room for the other color you want to use. Then repeat the same process to the other color. (does it make sense? haha)

5. Wear it like a Model :)

So yeah, that's my simple DIY, and I hope you like it, :)
