DIY: Half Denim High Waist Shorts!

What You'll Need:

-Scissors

-Bleach

-Warm water (sink water)

-High waist jeans (long pants)

-Tweezer

-Sandpaper (optional for distressing)

-Large bucket or use kitchen sink.

What to do:

1. Cut your high waisted pants (you can find many at Goodwill lol) to the length you will want the shorts.

2. Use the tweezers, sandpaper (optional) and your fingers to pull the threads out of the bottom of the shorts. (As you can see in the picture, they are distressed. You can easily do this with a tweezer. The shorts might distress a little more on their own after bleaching them.)

3. Distress any other areas of the shorts you want. (You can make rips in the front, or whatever)

4. Fill your bucket (You can also use a plugged kitchen sink to do this) with 2 part water, 1 part bleach. Make sure the water is warm.

5. Put the WHOLE shorts under the bleach, in an even position. Hold them in there for around 10-15 minutes, until the the whole pair of shorts are a light denim color, as seen on the right side of the shorts in the picture above. (Make sure that if your hands are in the bleach, to wear gloves)

6. After the shorts are that color, ring them out. Then hold only one side (in the picture the right was done) in the bleach/water. You can watch the color until it changes to the shade you want them to be.

7. After you find the right shades, you want to wash, then dry your shorts alone in the washer & dryer. You can use laundry soap, but don't use bleach.

8. After they come out, you can wear them! You can also add any lace or other things to the shorts.
