Personalized Painted Jeans
Materials needed:
-A pair of jeans (preferably with no pocket stitch)
-Acrylic paint of choice
-Paintbrushes
-Tape
Finding a nice pair of jeans to paint on is as simple as stopping by a local thrift store. One can choose to paint both pockets or just one. Place tape around the edges of the jean pocket to avoid getting paint on non-desired places. Trace a design on the jean pocket with a pen before starting with paint to avoid any mistakes. After the design is traced, begin painting over the traced design with the acrylic paints.
Back-Tie Shirt
Materials needed:
-A loose-fitting t-shirt or a tank top
-Scissors
-Ruler or straightedge
-Marker
Take a loose-fitting t-shirt or tank top and place it on a leveled surface. Pick a desired front and back for the shirt. Using a straightedge and marker, mark a line across the front of the shirt at the desired height, then cut along that line. Flipping the shirt to the back, draw a line straight down the middle and cut along this line. Now that the shirt is cut, tie the back of the shirt in a knot to complete the cropped back-tie shirt.
Iron-on Patch Top
Materials needed:
-Black shirt from boys section at Walmart
-Iron-on patch (available at Walmart and craft stores)
-Iron/ironing board
-Buffering cloth (such as a pillowcase)
Any plain black shirt works for this DIY, but for a fitted and more cropped shirt, Walmart sells black t-shirts in the boy’s section. Walmart and craft stores sell iron-on patches in their sewing and craft sections. Choose the desired location for the patch to be placed. Turn the iron on to a low setting. Place the shirt and arranged patch onto the ironing board and then place the buffering cloth over both. The pillowcase acts as a barrier between the patch and the iron to avoid scorching. Iron over the patch several times and allow it to cool.
