Hey loves,
So the other day I recorded a video of me making my own pair of floral print high waisted shorts. I don't have any stills of the video yet, but you can click here. Please show my YouTube some love! I'm going to be working harder and trying to save up so I can buy a better camera. I used my Mac for this only because I don't have a tripod for my digital camera. The video is a little bit low quality, but I'm proud of myself! I told myself that I would do this, and I actually did. PLUS, I never knew how hard it was to make your own video until today. The editing really took a bit of time and so did exporting and uploading it.
It's a bit hard to describe without pictures, but I'll try my best.

- First thing you want to do it get your fabric and cut out the general shape of the shorts.
- Then I just roughly cut around the edge of the front left of the short, all around until I was satisfied.
- If there's a little bit of fabric left, you can fold it and then glue it down to the shorts.
- You then want to glue down the whole area around the front of the shorts making sure there isn't any fabric just hanging off.
- Next, I did the same thing to the back pocket, I used the other side that I did the first part on, and cut the area for the back pocket.
- Next I used the fabric glue again to glue it all around.
- Finally, I took a hair dryer to dry all the extra glue that was drying up. It speeds up the process rather than having it hair dry.
The fabric glue that I was used was this one I got from my local craft store called Hobby Lobby. It comes out white and dries up clear. Now since my fabric was lace and not a solid floral print, it did get messy on my fingers. (Tip: Dont paint your nails right before making these shorts.) I ended up ruining my nails all over again. I absolutely love these shorts. I got them from TJMaxx for about $15 and used an old lace floral print shirt for the front and back. It came out really nice and I'm so happy that I tried this out! Have you made any of your own floral pants yet? Leave a comment down in the section below and tell me how it went. From one beauty lover to another, see you soon!
