makin' it monday // DIY patterned pants

i am SO excited about this week's project! it came out so much better than i hoped, i'm considering doing it to more pieces in norah's (and maybe my) closet!

let's get started:

for the triangle pants:
1. rip small pieces of tape (about 1 1/2 inches) and arrange them in a random way on the front of the pants. 
2. with your fabric paint of choice, paint inside your shapes using a small foam brush. 
3. let sit for a few hours until completely dry, flip over, and repeat steps 1 & 2 on the back.
4. wait 24 hours and wear!

for the heart "knee-patch" pants:
1. using a cookie cutter (or stencil, whatever you've got), lightly trace your shape onto the pants using a pencil. before doing this i stuck a piece of cardboard in the pants so it would be easier to write.

2. very carefully, paint your stenciled shape onto the pants
3. wait 24 hours and wear!

the finished products plus BONUS: bunny sweatshirt!

  1. I've done the potato stamping but using painters tape and cookie cutters is a great idea! And that sweatshirt is crazy adorable!! Good job! I found your blog from your shop profile on instagram, fyi. :) I have one too but am so inconsistent. This is Heidi from ottoandadelaide. ;)
