Lace Shorts

This just might be the most straight-forward project ever.

Buy/find old shorts (these are more from the Goodwill spree), buy/find a piece of fabric (I used lace but it can really be anything), pin the fabric to the shorts, sew it on. And you have a new pair of pants! I kind of love that the shorts are so tough and then the lace is so fragile, but you could also use jeans shorts or another type of fabric, like this

Apparently some people have a problem with the asymmetrical look *cough my dad cough cough* and if that's the case, I guess you could even do both sides.

Stud Shorts

Suddenly I'm obsessed with studs. I blame this picture

and this

and

and then I had to make my own.

They cost me a total of $4 and were the fastest, easiest thing ever and I can't bring myself to take them off- ever. Well sometimes I do, but I don't enjoy it. Anyway, I'd never been to Goodwill until recently and I went on $2 Tuesday, so I walked out with 3 pairs of shorts and a pair of jeans... for only $8. TOGETHER. It was like Christmas morning. Then I found (from hong kong on ebay?) a pack of 50 studs for $1.99 with free shipping if I waited a few weeks. I'm ecstatic and even more obsessed with studs now.

By the way, I have this Pinterest account http://pinterest.com/doubleyellow/doing-and-done/ where I post pretty much all the same stuff, at least in the crafting department, but you should visit it and follow me and I'll follow you and it will be a Pinterest party since I spend wayyy too much time there!
