FUN TEE ♥

Hey guys! Let me share you what I did yesterday....SHOPPING! Yes, I was looking for shirts inside a department store at the mall, then I saw these shirts from the brand "Fun Tee" and I was left in aw how awesome their shirts were, and they were 10% off, so I stole 3 shirts, just kidding, I bought them! :D



This is the first shirt I bought, a MEME-BASED shirt. I loved the "Me Gusta" meme. It was originally 129 pesos (almost $4), but it was 10% off :D




The second shirt was a "MUSTACHE" inspired shirt. I loved how it has the different styles of mustaches of the world :D



This last shirt is my favorite, it is a "THE HUNGER GAMES" based shirt.

Exams are coming so I'll be gone for a week or two, gonna cram up and study what is needed to be studied.  Have a great week guys! :D

DIY: Scallop Shorts

I have these old pair of white shorts that was barely used, and I've also seen a lot of scallop shorts lately, I've been meaning to buy one, but I thought, hey, I could make one!

(BEFORE: LOUSY WHITE SHORTS)

Tools/Materials:
*A pair of shorts
*Scissors
*Pen and Cardboard for making the scallop pattern

Because the shorts were naturally cuffed, I cut the thread connecting the cuff. As you can see in the first  picture of this post, I already removed the cuff.



STEP 1:
Using the cardboard, pen, and scissor, make a scallop pattern. It depends on you on how big or how small the scallop should be.

STEP 2:
Trace the scallop pattern on the shorts.


STEP 3:
Using a zigzag stitch, sew the outline of the stitch and then cut the rest, leaving only the scallops.


VOILA! Scallop shorts :D I'd have to say, it turned out better than what I expected :D




Have a great day guys! :)

DIY American Flag Shorts


I just adore flag shorts, I've been meaning to buy one, but I guess it's not very popular here in the Philippines, so why not make a pair?
 So let's get started!

Tools/Materials:
*A pair of shorts (preferably denim)
*White and Red fabric paint
*A paintbrush or sponge
*Tape
*Scissors
*Star Pattern


This is how it looks like before the process of painting it.

STEP 1:
Tape the areas where you don't want to get the paint on.

STEP 2:
Start painting the red and white stripes. I did another coat for the red stripes cause it kept getting transparent on the dark denim.

STEP 3:
Now paint the stars using your paintbrush and white fabric paint. Here's a TIP: When painting the stars, make sure that the tape is aligned diagonally, so the stars will also be aligned like that. (e.g. stars-space-stars-space)

STEP 4: (OPTIONAL)
Add studs!



Now you can wear these and show it of to your friends!

DIY: Galaxy Shoes

Hey guys, I'm so excited because this is my first post about DIY-ing shoes! Hope you enjoy reading. :)

So I had these old plain dark blue shoes I got from my birthday last year, it was fading and looked so bad, and because I was too lazy to clean them, I just thought of a bright idea to revamp these....*TING!*.... Galaxy shoes!

Tools and Materials:
*A pair of dark-colored shoes
*Fabric/Acrylic Paint: Blue, Violet and White works best
*Painting brush
*An old toothbrush
*Sponge
*Tape
*Lots of newspapers (It gets messy!)


Step 1: Cover the soles of your shoes with tape, in case you want a cleaner look.

Step 2: Using your blue paint and sponge, dab it onto your shoes, and create a cloudy effect.


Step 3: Then add your violet paint and mix it with the blue paint you just added from before.

This is how it looks like, pretty bad, huh? But don't worry, it's not done yet ;D

Step 4: Now add a portion of white paint, and mix it with the blue and violet paint from your shoes, to create that "Milky Way" effect.

Step 5: Using your toothbrush, dab it onto the white paint and then using your finger, scratch/scrape the toothbrush with the white paint near the shoes. This will make the "stars."


Step 6: Now using your paint brush, paint some big stars, shooting or falling stars, this will make the shoes emphasize more.

And there you have it, your own handmade galaxy shoes!






Awesome, right?
