Patriotic Shorts


DIY: Flag Shorts
Forth of July is right around the corner and what better time to make them now. 

 You'll need:



-Bandana (if you can not find a big bandana you can buy a flag at any craft store)
-A pair of denim shorts. I used white and loved how it made the flag stand out.
-Fabric scissors
-Fabric glue (it will be permanent, which means you’ll be able to wash them)

Step 1:
Take the flag bandana and pick a side. Lay it over the one side. Make sure that you cover all of the inseam, cover everything. I cut out the whole star side, then glue it down and wait about a minute or two for it to dry.

 
Step 2:
Once it is dry, cut out the trimming carefully. Leave a little of the trimming so you can flip/fold the edges underneath to give a clean and perfectly trimmed look. 



*repeat these two steps on the other side of shorts.

here is how mines turned out!!


For the backside, you can leave them plain or you can get creative and design the pockets any way you like!!




 Here is how I wore mines this past week at the USA vs. Brazil game.
