DIY dip dye shorts…

WHITE LEVIS 501 2DYLON PURPLE AND GREENDIP DYE SHORTS 5DIP DYE SHORTS 6DIP DYE SHORTS 7DIP DYE SHORTS 10DIP DYE SHORTS 8DIP DYE SHORTS 11
Shorts: vintage Levis
Dye: dylon, ‘forest green’ & ‘intense violet’
Studs: this eBay seller
Remember those white shorts I bought at a vintage fair, not to long ago? Well, I knew they wouldn’t be staying white for long! haha. As predicted, I wasn’t getting much ware out of them so, I decided to make them a little more interesting. As you can see I have dip dyed them.

It was a very easy (messy, so if you’re going to do it, I suggest you do it outside!) process. I just followed the dye instructions on the packets & dunked my crisp white shorts into a bucket of dye. & Obviously, no DIY shorts would be complete without studs! Good job I had some left over after making my studded shoes! ^_^

You’ll be seeing these babies in an outfit post soon no doubt!

Speak soon <3
