DIY: tuning up shorts

I am the biggest fan of everything DIY. I love crafts stores and I could spend endless hours in them!

A few days ago I found a pair of jeans that had been in my closet for about 6 years and probably never worn. I have never been a fan of white jeans (they make me think of the 90s). I had already almost thrown them out when I got inspired… white shorts wouldn’t be such a flashback to the 90s as white jeans, right? And if they had some lace and bead details, they’d also be a little bit more special than basic white shorts.

1 - 2. First figure out the right length and made a little cut there. To get a more vintagey look, it’s better to rip than to cut!

3. Do the same to the pockets; make a little cut and rip the rest.

4. Add some lace to the sides. Secure the lace on the fabric and then cut out the excess jeans from under the lace. You should leave about 0.5 cm on both sides of the seam.

5. Add some bead details. I opted for champagne colored beads and added a few to the front.

6. Done!

Very easy, very wearable!
