Into the Mystic

I'm not even sure if it is possible for me to name all the reasons why I am obsessed with this editorial of Klara Gro by Cristina Capucci for Urban Magazine. The flowing red hair, the amazing styling, the beautiful spring time scenery, and best of all there are so many DIY inspirations. How are amazing are those headbands? Once I practice my knot tying those are going on my DIY list, along with the patterned boots, embellished skirt, and fringe shawl.

DIY Striped Shorts vs The Inspiration

The Inspiration vs The DIY 

Top Shop's Striped Denim Shorts in Mint                             DIY Striped Shorts in Mint 

Materials Needed:

 A pair of old White Jeans 

Masking tape  

Spray paint

Scissors 

Pencil

Try on the pants, decide what length you want your shorts to be, mark this spot with a pencil.

Take off pants,  cut one leg, fold the cut leg on top of the uncut so they become the same length and cut the second leg. 

Lay your shorts on a flat surface, and begin taping.  I started with  the front middle and work my way around the shorts, make sure you are running a finger down each piece of placed tape with firm pressure, this will ensure the paint does leak under your tape.

Place your shorts on a surface that is okay to spray paint on, lightly spray one side of the shorts.  You will have to wait for the first side to dry before doing the second, there should be a drying time on the back of your spray paint. 

                                                           Repeat on the back side of the shorts. 

Peel tape and Rock!

DIY Inspiration Crochet Bikini

I am an absolutely terrible crocheter unlike Prudence, if you saw her DIY Crochet Necklace post you'll know what I mean.  I'm hoping if I supply the yarn and some wine maybe she can be convinced to crochet at least the top of this for me.

Heres to hoping
