DIY Friday: printed cuffs

Hey y'all! So today I'm styling a couple and shopping for their new stage wardrobe! Super excited! 

I also have a new DIY for you! Super easy. Super cute for all sorts of outfits! 

What you'll need:
Stencil
Stamp 
Jacquard paint
Foam brush
Jeans
Iron

1. Grab your jeans.

2. Turn them inside out.

3. Lay them on a flat surface.


4. Stamp your design onto your jeans. I stamped from ankle, 12inches up. 

5. To Overlap design, Lay stencil on your stamped pattern, and add paint to stencil. 


6. Then lay paper towels on each pant leg, and repeat the same process that you did with the front of the leg. 

7. Hang to dry for 24hrs.

8.  Then set your iron to the highest setting, and if you have a steam setting use it. You want to iron the paint to heat set it, so the paint will not fade. 

9. Turn right side out. Then cuff your jeans & explore the possibilities of outfits! 

 

Ta-da!!!! And then they are complete! Super cute detailing! 

Enjoy and do something fun this week end! -Ryn

DIY: Polka-dot shoes

So I got the spark to do this around 11:00 pm one night, and I grabbed a pair of black ballet flats, acrylic paint, a small pointy paintbrush & a pencil.

1. Gather your supplies,
Paint, shoes, paintbrush & lead pencil. pick your paint color & get started!

2. Use the pencil as your paintbrush and load it.

3. Use a scrap piece of fabric or paper towel & practice. (practice makes perfect right?!)

3. Now you're set, load the pencil with paint, put your shoes in arms length, and start dotting. (I did not use a certain type of pattern, I just went with the flow, but you can always use a metallic marker and dot it before you paint, so you know where you want the paint to go.)

4. Then you may see slightly outlined dots, not much paint in the center, you'll want to use your small pointy paintbrush, and load with paint, and start filling in the dots.

5. Then you're done! You can scotchguard them if you want to!

6. Viola! Super cute right?! Madewell worthy?
