Hey Girls♥
 
This is the perfect DIY for getting into the summer spirt! These shorts are super cute, and they're also cheap and easy to make! The design is very hipster and is inspired by the moon tanks that you can get at Brandy Melville!
 

 
You Will Need:
 
♥ Black high-waisted shorts (You can find some old black jeans at a thrift store, and cut them into shorts!)
 
♥ Cotton swabs
 
♥ Cardboard
 
♥ White fabric paint
 
♥ A circle punch (Or you can just cut circles yourself!)
 
♥ A pencil
 
♥ Scissors
 

 
O1♥: Cut your cardboard into a strip, about 2 inches wide, and 5 inches long.
 

O2♥: Next, punch three holes, evenly spread apart and in a line, into the strip. This will be the outline for each row of your moons.
 

O3♥: Place the strip down, where you would like your first row of moons (going horizontally) to be. Then grab your pencil and outline the shape you are going to make. Use the picture in this set as a guide for what each moon phase should look like. Finish all three horizontal rows of moons.
 

O4♥: Now you can start painting in your moons, start with a light, uneven layer. You can place your strips back on while painting, as it may help you to get a better shape, and stay in the lines. Wait for the paint to dry. It should dry out to look like a light grey/white.
 

O5♥: To make highlights on your moons, add paint to those areas. To make shadows, dip your cotton swab in water and start blending away the paint.
 

O6♥: Finished! Wait a day or so for the paint to dry completely before you can start enjoying your shorts!
 
When you wash your shorts, turn them inside out and use warm water on gentle cycle with a mild detergent and fabric softener in a warm rinse. Cold water may cause fabric paint to crack. Line dry. Do not dry clean, and don't use harsh detergents or bleach.
 

This is definitely one of my favourite DIY's and I really hope that you try it out for yourselves!♥

Monika♥
