So summer is coming up soon, and we are all excited for the summer vacation!
So summer clothes can get expensive... For example, you know those gorgeous ombre shorts
... they can go up to $70!! i know right!! And those gorgeous crop tops, they can go up to $50! So if you don't want to spend a bunch of money on summer clothes, or if you're on a budget, here are some amazing DIY things you can do!
So the first DIY I'll show you, is OMBRE SHORTS!
Ok. So first you want to get some shorts that you either don't like, or just any cheap shorts you have...
You'll also need some bleach, or fabric color, water, and a bucket or something so you can put them in.
*If you want the shorts to ombre from jean color to white, then just put the shorts in the bucket full of bleach and water, for about 2-6 hours, and if you want them completely bleached, leave them for 12 hours, or just over night.
*if you want the shorts to ombre with color, first put the fabric color into the water, and dip the shorts as much as you want into the water, and leave for about 3-10 minutes. then dip them some more, but wait for less time, and do the same process until you're happy with it, and you'll get gorgeous ombre shorts!
Make sure you wash them with water after, and make sure there's no color coming out of the shorts when you're done.
* you can also add studs in the back pockets, or distress the ends of your shorts if you want!

***If you don't have shorts, or you don't want to buy shorts just for this DIY, you can make your own shorts! just get an old pair of jeans, and cut them off, and you'll have your very own shorts! it's easy!***

the next DIY i have for you is a CROP TOP!
So first you have to get a top that you don't really wear, or just a boring plain top you don't like.
then, measure of how much you want to cut off, and get you scissors, and carefully cut off the top. you can also cut the sleeves if you want.
*if you want to make a high low top, cut a little bit more off at the front of the top.
*if you want to have the top as shown in the picture, cut off the back as you want, but leave two pieces at the front to tie them up into a cute knot!
