Claim Your Independence!

Here is a fun DIY for all you crafty divas on independence day! These high waisted shorts are trending this summer and I thought I would share how you can customize your own right at home.

Materials:
Large flag (or any other material)
Scissors
Glue gun and glue sticks or any fabric Adhesive you like
High waisted jeans/shorts

How to:
First if you are using jeans, try them on and decide how you want your short to fit. Mark how short you want them and proceed with with cutting. Be sure to leave room for cuffs... Or not. (It's all up to you.)


Gather your fabric and cut big enough squares for the front of your shorts.

Start gluing fabric down starting from the side seam. Try folding the fabric along the side and along the zipper to maintain a clean edge.

Cut access fabric along the edges as you go to avoid bulk.

Once done gluing all sides down securely, cuff the bottoms and you're done!

For a little added flare to back pockets I made a bow out of left over jean fabric.

Cut two pieces of jean fabric long enough to go from each side of the pockets. Glue all sides. Pinch the middle and wah la! The perfect bow!

This fourth of July claim your independence ladies!
