<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I think you could get away with out using the textile medium, but I love it. It is very affordable on <a href="http://amazon.com/">Amazon.com</a>. It makes your acrylic paint into fabric paint.(so that one purchase makes your whole paint stash turns into fabric paint!) All you have to do is mix some of the textile medium into your paint and your good to go. Using the textile medium will make the paint softer and more durable when you wash it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A while back someone donated a big bag of very used girls clothes to me. I always love a donation!

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lets get started with this tutorial!</span></h4>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Steps 1-4(above)</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Get Denim shorts</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Add bleach and water to a sink </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Soak and watch until they reach the color you want</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Wash and Dry </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>*Tip </b>After you remove your shorts out of the bleach and water mix they will continue to become lighter and lighter until they are rinsed clean of all the bleach. Just like cupcakes keep on cooking until cool</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 5</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After your shorts are dry put cardboard between the legs, This will prevent any paint from seeping through. Also use tape and plastic to protect any part of the shorts that you do not want getting splatter painted.</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 6</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix your paint. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jar 1, mix the textile medium with the pink. (fallow the directions on the bottle)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jar 2, </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">mix the textile medium with the White</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jar 3, mix some of the pink and white(after the medium is added) together to make a lighter pink color.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>*Tip </b>I made a little diagram about mixing the paint for those of you who are more visual learners.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><b>Step 7</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint your shorts</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1st</b> paint the dark pink along the hem on the front and back of the shorts. Leave it imperfect.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2nd </b>Splatter paint with the light pink over the first(dark) layer of paint.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3ed </b>Splatter with the white paint over the first 2 layers of paint. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Tip </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To get the splatter look use your paint brush to flick and drizzle paint.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the splatters dry you remove the plastic. You can then add some other details if you want. I painted the coin pocket and the button detail in solid pink. Let it dry according to the textile medium directions. Then wash and dry.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Edit your photos if you feel that they are not going to be acceptable. Use picmonkey or other editing program to fix up your pictures. I attached two of my tutorials that show the type of images I use. Yours do not have to look like mine. This is just so you have an idea.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">( Please don't be too worried about this :) </span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25.984375px;">The Rules are very simple. You can pin anything that you refashioned. You can pin as meany refashions as you want. You can pin as often as you want. You can pin a refashion that was a clothing item but you refashioned it into a non clothing item.(like a dress into earrings) Pretty much anything goes.</span></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">DUCK! Any time my toddler sees a duck he screams DUCK! This is a tutorial on how I refashioned an old t-shirt into a cute toddler shirt. With a duck painted on it, with fabric paint.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuOMBfrza6Q/UiK8bAnS3uI/AAAAAAAACR8/y_qcpXWts04/s1600/how+to+make+a+kids+tshirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuOMBfrza6Q/UiK8bAnS3uI/AAAAAAAACR8/y_qcpXWts04/s640/how+to+make+a+kids+tshirt.jpg" width="590" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You would be surprised at how often you see ducks. They are on commercials in baby books and toys, ducks are all over. And he LOVES them. The other day I was changing, while my duck lover was having a tantrum. I put on an old T-shirt and it had a picture of a goose on it(he thought it was a duck). He immediately stopped crying and started happily yelling DUCK, DUCK, DUCK! While pointing at my shirt. That is when it hit me, a light bulb moment. I needed to make him a duck shirt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok so now we have this Duck shirt tutorial.</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Step 1</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>You need a shirt</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started with this nasty shirt that I was given. It was stained but very soft and a good fit. So I soaked it in bleach and got it almost 100% white.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look how special it was</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Step 2</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>You need a pattern</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. I drew mine. If you are not comfortable drawing yours then you can easily find free clip art online and you're all set. As for the word, </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you don't want to write it freehand then you can print out the letters in any font. Then just tape them under the duck image.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Then I traced my duck with a black sharpie. Because you will need your drawing or clip art to be dark enough that it will show through the shirt. So make sure your image is dark.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Tape your image to a thin piece of cardboard(think cereal box)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Step 3</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Place Image</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the cardboard</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> with the image taped to it between shirt layers.</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">slide cardboard under shirt</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Step 4</u></b><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tape</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">tape the shirt down to the table. Use the tape to help hold the cardboard in place, Also use the tape to help create straight lines for the word line on the bottom.</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QhGvkjhsUn4/Uia4Ok4LfHI/AAAAAAAACTg/Oq4mezs5SUg/s400/Tape+shirt+before+you+paint.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">See how you can see the DUCK through the shirt?</td></tr>

<b style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Step 5</u></b><br />
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Draw the lines</b><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used another thin piece of cardboard to help make my lines nice and straight. I just used a black sharpie.(So far it has lasted very well for 2 washes, I will keep you updated)</span><br />

<b style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint the DUCK</b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">I used acrylic paint mixed with a textile medium.(like I always do when painting fabric). It works very well and it is very easy. </span><a href="http://mylifeonthedivide.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-to-make-splatter-paint-denim-shorts.html" target="_blank">Here is a tutorial with directions on how I mix my fabric paint</a> <span style="color: #444444;">I ordered my textile medium on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=textile+medium&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=4576583245&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=85514905449626870&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_87ub0gjwn3_b" target="_blank">Amazon </a> but you can find the textile medium at most craft stores.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">*tip I used my fun collection of sharpie pens(<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Fine-Tip-Permanent-24-Pack-Assorted/dp/B0003WN0DO/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1378467393&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=sharpie" target="_blank">also from amazon</a>) for the wing and beak and some other fine details. For the paint I used a sponge brush and applied it with an up and down tapping motion. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint the words, You could probably do this part with sharpie as well. *tip when I do this again I will leave more space between the letters. I think they look bunched up.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Add detail</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I added a black outline with my sharpie and some other highlights. Like the duck eyelashes and some beak details. I even mixed up a lighter yellow to highlight the wing(OCD MUCH?).... I think it looks good both ways. So just get as creative as you want</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I covered the stains with some paint. I dipped a glue stick in the paint I had left from the letters and it made a perfect stamp. I stamped random dots on the stained sleeve. This covered up the stains very well.

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a Stencil</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just drew an arrow free hand on a thick piece of paper(thats why its all ghetto looking). Then I carefully cut it out with scissors. If you are not comfortable drawing an arrow then you can also use a normal stencil or print one out for free from the internet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<br />
<br /><b>Step 2</b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trace Your Stencil</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trace the arrow on the leather. Try and do this on the edge so you save as much leather as you can for another project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />
<b>Step 3</b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut Out Your Arrow</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut the arrow out of the leather I just used sewing scissors for the arrow. Then I used an <span class="toctext">X-Acto knife to</span> cut out the thin details in the back.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 4 </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prime the leather</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You don't have to prime the leather.Suede leather sucks up paint. If you prime it before you put your color on less of it will be sucked up and it will glide on better. I primed mine with plain white acrylic paint. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Tip Leather has 2 sides, one will is more smooth and one is more textured. The more you prime the less the texture will show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 5 </b><b>Paint One Side</b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint one side how ever you want With acrylic paint. I used a brush that left thick brush marks on the arrow. You could use a sponge brush for smooth look.<a href="http://mylifeonthedivide.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-paint-suede-shoes-easy-shoe.html" target="_blank"> Like the way I painted these suede shoes</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 6 Nail Polish Time</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the acrylic paint drys. Flip the arrow over and paint the second side with silver nail polish. Paint the more textured side of the leather so the leather will look more like metal. (the silver and texture together create this look)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 7 Silver Trim</b>(optional)</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the silver nail polish side dries. Flip the arrow back over (purple side up) Then paint a silver trim all the way around. This adds dimension. *tip You could also add stripes or dots</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so happy that it is August! I have a lot of tutorials planned for this month. This is a quick look at the type of jewelry that is inspiring me right now. I am in love with the modern friendship bracelet, bright colors and tube beads.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an easy step by step tutorial that will teach you how to make this very easy pair of earrings. I just love this pair of earrings, I have made them in about 4 colors. In this tutorial you will learn how to make the wrapped loop. If you want to learn how to make wire wrapped jewelry then the wrapped loop is one of the first wire wrapping techniques you need to learn. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok so we are starting with a very simple pair of earrings with a wrapped loop tutorial.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7Ukvvk-PzqE/UeXLjD9dYYI/AAAAAAAAB9c/2AUQ5IN16mc/s1600/how+to+make+wrapped+loop+earrings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="488" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7Ukvvk-PzqE/UeXLjD9dYYI/AAAAAAAAB9c/2AUQ5IN16mc/s640/how+to+make+wrapped+loop+earrings.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this tutorial I used natural shell beads but a lot of other beads will work</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most important thing you will learn in this tutorial is how to make the wrapped loop. It is an important foundation in wire wrapping. In the future I will be teaching you other, more complicated techniques so you can build on what you learn. Then you will be able to make more complicated items. But for today we are starting very simple. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am in love with the splatter painted trend. Well I think it is a trend. I mean if you look at the <a href="http://www.jmendel.com/" target="_blank">J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2013 </a>fashion show, you will see a lot of amazing splatter painted pieces. Well J. Mendel calls it exploded Floral but it sure looks like splatter paint to me. I really loved the two below, what do you think, splatter paint or exploded floral? Anyone who splatter paints an evening gown is a genius in my book</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. I tell you my head is filling up with refashion plans for all my old bridesmaid dresses.(Always a bridesmaid never a bride,but that is a story for another time.)</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">I still don't know splatter paint is a trend that will really take off. Just because somthing is on the runway does not always mean it will be a huge trend. Just look at this </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Astrid Anderson Spring 2014 </i>look.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regardless if splatter painting is going to make a huge comeback or not. The refashion I did published a few days ago was inspired by it. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">So I rounded up 8 other wonderful tutorials here for you to enjoy. They use different painting techniques that I know you are going to love. One of the tutorials shows how to splatter paint by blowing paint through a straw,while another teaches you how to paint by filling balloons with paint then throwing darts at them.... I can't think of a more exciting paint technique. I will be trying that one for sure</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I fell in love with a pair of white and hot pink dip dyed shorts a few days ago. The dip dyed hem looked more like 80 style splatter paint, then fabric dye. I knew that I could DIY a pair of cute splatter painted hem shorts in no time. I hope you enjoy my tutorial for a pair of white denim shorts with neon splatter paint hem. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I think you could get away with out using the textile medium, but I love it. It is very affordable on <a href="http://amazon.com/">Amazon.com</a>. It makes your acrylic paint into fabric paint.(so that one purchase makes your whole paint stash turns into fabric paint!) All you have to do is mix some of the textile medium into your paint and your good to go. Using the textile medium will make the paint softer and more durable when you wash it. </span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A while back someone donated a big bag of very used girls clothes to me. I always love a donation! For this project I pulled some jean shorts from that bag. They had good fabric and bad stains. I knew they would be the perfect pair to fix up and donate to someone's little girl.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(Please email me if you need a project donated to your little one)</span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lets get started with this tutorial!</span></h4>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Steps 1-4(above)</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Get Denim shorts</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Add bleach and water to a sink </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Soak and watch until they reach the color you want</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Wash and Dry </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>*Tip </b>After you remove your shorts out of the bleach and water mix they will continue to become lighter and lighter until they are rinsed clean of all the bleach. Just like cupcakes keep on cooking until cool</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<b>Step 5</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After your shorts are dry put cardboard between the legs, This will prevent any paint from seeping through. Also use tape and plastic to protect any part of the shorts that you do not want getting splatter painted.</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 6</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix your paint. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jar 1, mix the textile medium with the pink. (fallow the directions on the bottle)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jar 2, </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">mix the textile medium with the White</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jar 3, mix some of the pink and white(after the medium is added) together to make a lighter pink color.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>*Tip </b>I made a little diagram about mixing the paint for those of you who are more visual learners.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<br /><b>Step 7</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint your shorts</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1st</b> paint the dark pink along the hem on the front and back of the shorts. Leave it imperfect.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2nd </b>Splatter paint with the light pink over the first(dark) layer of paint.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3ed </b>Splatter with the white paint over the first 2 layers of paint. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Tip </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To get the splatter look use your paint brush to flick and drizzle paint.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the splatters dry you remove the plastic. You can then add some other details if you want. I painted the coin pocket and the button detail in solid pink. Let it dry according to the textile medium directions. Then wash and dry.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) A baby gown with elastic around the bottom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Pants that fit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Sewing supplies. I did this by hand(faster than threading the bobbin) With a machine this will only take about 60 seconds!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 1</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut a straight line across the bottom of the arms(we will not be using the arms for this project).Then remove the arms and save them for another project. *Tip Cut as close to the arms as you can saving the most fabric for your new baby pants.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the pants on top of the fabric, matching the waistband of the pants with the elastic from the gown. This elastic will be the new waist band. Then Make a mark with your chalk at the crotch of the pants. I used pants that had a low crotch so my pants would come out very loose and good for around the house. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turn inside out so the right sides are facing in. Then stitch up the leg, with your machine or use a good old thread and needle. Turn back right side out and press with your iron on low. *Tip try them on you baby to get the correct length. If you want you can then cuff the legs up and put in some small stitches to hold up the cuffs.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love to refashion, anything... but my favorite thing to refashion is shoes. If you know me, and you do, then you should know that my first word was shoes! So maybe that is why When I saw the <a href="http://mylifeonthedivide.blogspot.com/2013/05/preiview-of-my-kate-spade-knock-off.html" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;"><i style="text-decoration: none;">Kate Spade</i></span><i style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;"> Summer Soiree.</i></a> challenge I knew that I would have to refashion a pair of shoes. I found the Kate Spade "Terry Flat" for my inspiration.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5YoOCoWVyY/UZOars3NouI/AAAAAAAABwE/o7UQagxhATw/s1600/DIY+kate+spafe+inperation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5YoOCoWVyY/UZOars3NouI/AAAAAAAABwE/o7UQagxhATw/s400/DIY+kate+spafe+inperation.jpg" width="387" /></a></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This refashion is NOT hard but it will take a while so I made this a two part tutorial. This is part one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iuWlS6kWtM4/UZOjIPsdG9I/AAAAAAAABwU/tLUOGOZ6JWs/s1600/before+and+after+refashion+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iuWlS6kWtM4/UZOjIPsdG9I/AAAAAAAABwU/tLUOGOZ6JWs/s400/before+and+after+refashion+.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 1</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your shoe has a texture that you do not want to keep, like mine did, you can fix it with a little hot glue. Just fill in the parts that you want to be smooth. A side note you can also use hot glue to add textures.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-83ll5RcGWG8/UZOtyRpgarI/AAAAAAAABwk/aJ_fkWAgESQ/s1600/Fill+and+smooth++with+hot+glue.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-83ll5RcGWG8/UZOtyRpgarI/AAAAAAAABwk/aJ_fkWAgESQ/s320/Fill+and+smooth++with+hot+glue.png" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 2</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut out a piece of fabric that will cover the shoe. Then cut a slit down the middle and cut little slits all around. Hopefully the photo below will help my description make some since.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-76dNoN2O7Pk/UZPwT_3bPOI/AAAAAAAABw0/ZC9AOBMHCGQ/s1600/cutfabrick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-76dNoN2O7Pk/UZPwT_3bPOI/AAAAAAAABw0/ZC9AOBMHCGQ/s640/cutfabrick.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Step 3</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add fabric Mod Podge to the shoe. Anyplace that you want to have the new fabric needs to have a layer of Mod Podge. (I was going to cover the whole shoe but at the last minute I decided it would be fun to leave the heal as is)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VSP-6BGaFbE/UZQB2OIfYgI/AAAAAAAABxE/U0jI25_UE_E/s1600/add+modpodge33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VSP-6BGaFbE/UZQB2OIfYgI/AAAAAAAABxE/U0jI25_UE_E/s640/add+modpodge33.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 4</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Smooth your fabric over the Mod Podge on the shoe. Just use your fingers to place the fabric on the shoe, smoothing out any wrinkles that my occur. Then Cut the extra fabric away, very close to the edge of the shoe.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 5</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use a knife or other utensil to push the fabric into all the nooks and crannies. You want to push the fabric under any seams that you can. Also Push the fabric along the bottom with the knife. After you have pushed the fabric into all the seams, let the glue dry.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 6</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now it is time to add a a layer of the fabric Mod Podge to the top of the fabric. Just paint the glue on and let it dry. You can speed this up by putting your shoe in the sun on in the oven on 100 degrees (but not higher) </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P49meSCiJAo/UZRBR3PcvdI/AAAAAAAABx0/X6IqCofRBPU/s1600/croped_1298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="326" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P49meSCiJAo/UZRBR3PcvdI/AAAAAAAABx0/X6IqCofRBPU/s400/croped_1298.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OK we still need to make the toe pink! And the heal blue AND add some gloss...next time :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will see you for Part two in a few days.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really wanted to make a ring last night, but I don't own a mandrel. So I went on line to order one one, and it was going to take two days for shipping! TWO! When I have a craft-spiration I can not wait two days... I mean really? Art waits for no one. So with a ring in one hand I started on a mission around my home, slipping the ring on random mandrel shaped items. Like the prince with Cinderella's glass slipper, I eventually found the candle stick to slip the ring on. Then it was no longer just a candle stick but a beautiful mandrel.It was a perfect fit. Now I know just how Cinderella felt.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is what I used to make this easy wire wrapped button ring. I used is 22 gauge, you can use any size you are comfortable working with.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3KWssM1iF4Y/UYNKPDDhylI/AAAAAAAABqE/nXZAj39F8D4/s1600/what+I+used+to+make+a+button+ring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="483" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3KWssM1iF4Y/UYNKPDDhylI/AAAAAAAABqE/nXZAj39F8D4/s640/what+I+used+to+make+a+button+ring.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 1</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slide your ring on to the tapered candle and make a mark. Later this mark will work as a guide for sizing your new ring. When sliding the ring on to the candle it is best to choose a ring that is one size larger than you want to make you new ring. In this wire wrapping process you will loose about 1/2 to 1 whole ring size. However if you don't have a ring that is one size larger, I will show you a trick so your ring will still work out. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 2</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With your wire cutters, cut a length of wire. I used about 30 inches of 22 gauge wire. I am making a size 5 ring. This length of the wire you cut will depend on how large of a ring you make and the gauge of wire you are working with.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #050001; color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.453125px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 3 </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the center of your cut wire against the back of the candle then wrap the wire twice around the candle(more times if you want a thicker ring)<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.453125px;"> Leaving two even lengths of wire on both sides of the candle. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.453125px;">Note: If you made your mark on the candle with a ring that fits the way you want the new ring to fit then you will do this step slightly above the mark. If you used a ring the next size up then you will work right on the mark.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 4</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bring the two ends of the wire together on top of the ring. Pinch them together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Note: Note photographed (This is also a good time to use your pliers to tighten the wires on the candle so they are close and tight to each other._</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QvlKsnTBT6Y/UYSOTBOT-eI/AAAAAAAABrg/3DjyCnZze9Y/s1600/pinch+ends+together.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="357" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QvlKsnTBT6Y/UYSOTBOT-eI/AAAAAAAABrg/3DjyCnZze9Y/s400/pinch+ends+together.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 5</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slide the two wire tails through the shank of the button. Then slide the button all the way down to the base of the candle. Hold the button firmly down.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 6</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wrap the two tails around the back of the candle one more time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I would again use your pliers to gather the all the wires and keep them as tight as I can.(not photographed)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 7</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pull one end of the wire out of your way so you can work with latter. Next start working the available end of wire( it should be on "top") wrap this wire around the buttons shank to cover it. Keep wrapping until you have the whole shank covered. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note: You can work this on or of the candle. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 8 </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use the end of wire that was pulled to the side. Also know as the only wire that is left to work with..Start wire wrapping it around the ring. Wrap the wire all the way around until you get back to the top of the ring. Then wrap over the little end that remains of the other piece of wire that you used to cover the shank. When you are done if any ends of your wire are in a position that it will snag on things then you can file it down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

How to rafashion an maternity tank into a nursing top</h2>
<span style="color: #444444;"> This is an easy top to make out of a few items you probably have laying around. Because of the shape of this nursing top I think it is a perfect one to make with one of your old maternity tops. With this you can turn a maternity tank into a nursing tank that will cover your belly right after delivery. If I could go back in time I would make this nursing tank in my last month so I would have it as soon as I got home from the hospital.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PyhUmAQQpUg/UXiGIq65vxI/AAAAAAAABi8/8_OkPy1yzsc/s1600/DIY+easy+nursing+tank.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PyhUmAQQpUg/UXiGIq65vxI/AAAAAAAABi8/8_OkPy1yzsc/s640/DIY+easy+nursing+tank.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The best part about this top is that you can nures with it from two different positions You can easily pull the top down reveling the holes in the bralette, for baby. Or you can lift from the bottom of the tank section reveling the bralette to nurse, shown in the photo below. Either way your breast will be covered while nursing. (I am wearing a burgundy undershirt to keep this page PG)</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 1</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">I cut two holes in the bralette located at the nipple. The best way to find the best location is to try the bra on and use chalk to make a small mark, then cut the location that you marked. This fabric did not need to be hemmed to prevent fraying.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 2</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Cut the large top above the arm holes, leaving room for a hem if you want. I just cut at the arm holes.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qIUEQz3APp4/UXi6mrNMzvI/AAAAAAAABkc/aNpjA0Gjih8/s1600/Cut+the+top.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="460" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qIUEQz3APp4/UXi6mrNMzvI/AAAAAAAABkc/aNpjA0Gjih8/s640/Cut+the+top.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 3</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Attach the original hem of the large t-shirt to the bralette. Pin and stitch using a zig-zag stitch. Bunch the T-shirt so that it will fit and this will create pleating on the shirt.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VyQTzWo12nY/UXlhr5uQL9I/AAAAAAAABk4/i67XB7vRXr8/s1600/sew+together+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="408" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VyQTzWo12nY/UXlhr5uQL9I/AAAAAAAABk4/i67XB7vRXr8/s640/sew+together+.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">After the two pieces are attached the top should look like the photo below.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HiklIHExj6s/UXlkETj43eI/AAAAAAAABlE/G6kJEhHdEm8/s1600/Now+you+have.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HiklIHExj6s/UXlkETj43eI/AAAAAAAABlE/G6kJEhHdEm8/s640/Now+you+have.jpg" width="384" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;"> *Note I still have the bottom pinned in this photo; I had planned on hemming it. Then I changed my mind and decided to create a different hem line as well as not hemming the shirt.</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 4</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I cut the t-shirt at an angle to create a high-low hem.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-255rusLK2bM/UXnXOyfiqZI/AAAAAAAABmk/xCciZsMWjHM/s1600/chop+the+hem+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-255rusLK2bM/UXnXOyfiqZI/AAAAAAAABmk/xCciZsMWjHM/s640/chop+the+hem+.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 6</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Next start working on the tank top. Cut the top part off, this will become the part that covers the bust. The length of this will be different for everyone. The best way to determine the length is to try the tank top on and mark with chalk the location to cut. Keep the top portion for this project and save the bottom for another day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs4l74foBqw/UXltfKzTuFI/AAAAAAAABlU/mE5qkF7vr-w/s1600/cut+the+tank.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="418" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs4l74foBqw/UXltfKzTuFI/AAAAAAAABlU/mE5qkF7vr-w/s640/cut+the+tank.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 7</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Pin and stitch the strip of fabric along the bottom of the tank top. Only attach it 1/2 to 3/4 way around the tank. This leaves the strip unattached at the back. *NOTE you can see a better picture below of how this should look when the fabric strip is attached.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fzxq3wFp4jU/UXlwp_-xA0I/AAAAAAAABlk/5_Wd55b9fPI/s1600/add+strip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="532" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fzxq3wFp4jU/UXlwp_-xA0I/AAAAAAAABlk/5_Wd55b9fPI/s640/add+strip.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">I told you I would have a better picture. The tank top should look somthing like this after you sew the strip of fabric on.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PIspPgl6CZk/UXlzqzAroOI/AAAAAAAABl0/M23M7V7QHOA/s1600/Now+you+have+this.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PIspPgl6CZk/UXlzqzAroOI/AAAAAAAABl0/M23M7V7QHOA/s640/Now+you+have+this.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">So at this point in the project you will have two parts. One part will go under the other. The gray tank will go on top of the bralette, covering the nursing holes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GRohO_UBDp8/UXl2YBKRolI/AAAAAAAABmE/k0LjX47oq8k/s1600/Both+parts+before+attaching+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GRohO_UBDp8/UXl2YBKRolI/AAAAAAAABmE/k0LjX47oq8k/s640/Both+parts+before+attaching+.jpg" width="494" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">When layered they will look like this </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TUT9KtNeoDI/UXnOQR_bG8I/AAAAAAAABmU/aqsCdAduZSg/s1600/DIY+nursing+top.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TUT9KtNeoDI/UXnOQR_bG8I/AAAAAAAABmU/aqsCdAduZSg/s640/DIY+nursing+top.jpg" width="412" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">NOTE; you can attach the gray tank to the bralette, but for this post I left them unattached. I think this makes washing easier.</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Then you are all done. Now you have a fabulous nursing top. This is how it looks on! I hope you like it.</span><br />

What was it I thought? Well I looked into it and found out that it is a brilliant idea that a young woman named </span></span>Sheyanne Root has come up with. She needed to <span style="line-height: 23px;"><span style="background-color: white;">do a High School senior project for graduation(fun) Because she likes fashion and helping others she came up with the Dress for change project</span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 23px;">Now she started a <a href="http://lbddressforchange.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dress For Change Blog </a>and you can read all the details there. However I will sum it up for you. She is asking for us to first sign up with her and donate $5. The hard part is you commit to wearing the same black dress for a week (the week of April 1st-7th). Now the best part; for each woman who signs up for this challenge Sheyanne will make a dress for a little girl in Africa who is in need.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">I will be moving that week into a new home.

Then I will blog about all my adventures in my </span><strike style="line-height: 23px;"> black dress</strike><span style="line-height: 23px;"> black pants and top on my blog! I hope you will all do the same to help promote this challenge Sheyanne is doing, because I believe it can help a lot of girls.</span></span><br />

Baby Sleep N Play Refashion</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Spring is coming soon so I think its time to refashion sleep n plays and refashioning is a great way to save some money on you little ones. This tutorial is a very easy no -sew, how to refashion a sleep and play in to shorts. This works with the button down type. If you use a </span>jersey<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>cotton<span style="font-family: inherit;"> then this is also a no-sew project but if you want to </span>finish<span style="font-family: inherit;"> it off to look a little more polished then you can sew a few hems. I did not bother sewing mine since the baby grows so fast and I have not had any problems with </span>unraveling<span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u><b>Step 7 Dry time</b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think this is the hardest step of all, also the most important. They need to dry a long time until the mod podge is good and clear and hard. I can't tell you the exact time that it will be. It depends on the temperature, humidity and some other things. The minimum dry time for this project is going to be overnight. For mine it took about two days until everything was dry, hard and clear!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And then you are finished! You have some freshly painted makeup brushes and a nice little case you can toss in your bag.</span></div>
