We absolutely love working with Kastor & Pollux, especially when they come up with something as creative as this DIY post using Forever 21 Festival fashion. See below for their step by step instructions on creating your own pair of embellished pink denim shorts.
The anecdotes and pictures from the past couple weekends of Coachella sent us into fits wishing that we, too, could be frolicking in the desert with large flowers/the entire Outkast discography blaring in the background.
However, since we didn’t go to Coachella (and are instead in our beds, weeping at the fact that we won’t get to hear any music in festival-type settings until TURF), we decided to make y’all a c00l and tr3ndy DIY!
Enter monochromatic + embellished shortz: In 5 very *simple* and very *fun* steps, you’ll have something to cover your bum in the most *unique* and *fun* way ever. Take notes, Vanessa Hudgens!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
• A pair of shorts (we used these in light wash)
• 2 necklaces (you can try this or this)
• Spray paint (in any colour)
• Super glue / a glue gun
• Pliers
STEP 1:
Put down newspaper to protect the surface of wherever you’re spray painting. Lay your shorts down flat.
STEP 2:
Apply spray paint to the surface of your shorts – as many coats as necessary until the colour appears opaque. Flip the shorts over and repeat process on the back.
*Tip* Wait in between each application, as denim is porous and will absorb the spray paint!
STEP 3:
Once you’ve completely covered your shorts in spray paint, prepare your embellishments (we used two of the same necklace fromForever 21. Measure the length of the pocket, and use pliers to cut your necklaces accordingly.
STEP 4:
Cover both pieces in the same colour spray paint. Wait for them to dry.
STEP 5:
Apply strong super glue to the back of each jewelry piece, and hold firmly onto denim – underneath the pockets.
P.S. This is our ideal Festival outfit…
