LEATHER SHORTS

So one of the things that I've been obsessing over this summer is leather shorts...problem is I'm not exactly in a situation where i can afford leather shorts, the ones that I found online happen to be very pricey. "Ah ha" I thought "I shall make them" but one problem, leather doesn't exactly grow on trees and its quite expensive to get. The idea of having a 2011 summer without leather shorts made me a very sad little girl, but one day I watched thisYouTube video and I started to jump up and down in joy. In conclusion, I will have a new post soon on how to make leather shorts and a shirt that I personally think complements this punk chic article of clothing. :) stay tuned for a DIY on the shorts and shirt <3

2ne1 black jack earrings

btw this was a collaboration post with fluffeh bunneh 

This DIY was inspired by these two cool DIYers Click here for their version of these earrings 

...so I love their version buut its not the way I would make them.

Materials:

white Shrinky dink paper

paper

pencils

sharpies

527 glue

earring posts

cards

rulers

dry erase markers

scissors

STEP 1!cut out 2 rectangles of the shrinky dink paper that have the same dimensions as a playing card 

STEP 2! trace the design of your choice onto the paper with pencil, i would recommend practicing on paper first

STEP 3!draw the design with sharpie or if you want to use other means of drawing sand down the paper first with 300-400 grit paper and then color/draw

STEP 4!preheat the oven to 350 degrees F then place the shrinky dinks on a cookie tray that has wax or parchment paper, DO NOT USE FOIL!

oops i didn't use wax paper....horrible mistake

STEP 5! place in the oven for 2-3 min or until the paper is done un-curling, if even after its done uncurling you can flatten out further by placing the shrinky dink under a book

STEP 6!after the shrinky dinks are done shrinking take them out of the oven to cool

STEP 7!use the 527 glue to attach the earring posts onto the shrank shrinky dinks and wait 2 hours for them to dry...bake a cake or something while your waiting ;)

i accidently glued them on in the middle but i put an 'x' where you should glue the post

YAY your done with your earrings! now you can look like Bom...kinda
