Recently, I was generously given a huge pile of hand-me-downs to peruse (no joke, I am the hand-me-down queen. They're much more fun than new clothes). In that treasure trove I was lucky enough to find a pair of good-quality denim shorts - something I've been needing for a while. Unluckily, they had a few ugly brown stains.
But does that stop me?
Hahaha. You're hilarious.
Inspired by this post on Pinterest, I grabbed my fabric paint and got to work. I've been in a flowery mood lately, so the daisy design really spoke to me.
Tip: start off with painting all the circles before adding petals. It makes spacing much easier. I just covered the stains with the circles, and went from there.
That's actually not my hand; it's my little cousin's. Once she gets out of school, she's going bring over a pair of her own shorts to paint!
It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but we added small yellow dots inside the red-orange center.
Stains? What stains?
I also added this dotted design on the other side of the shorts. In all, it turned out adorable! The perfect shorts for summer! Take that, Forever 21. You ain't got nothing on the power of Pinterest and fabric paint.
