studs, wine and lace



Two of my close girlfriends and I decided to get together this past weekend and have a craft night. We had a blast and came up with some really cute pieces!

For my project,I decided to create some lace jean shorts.Just follow these 3 easy steps and you'll be done in no time!

Supplies:
Needle and white thread
pins
scissors
1/2 yard of lace
shorts or pants


1. Measure and cut the lace to the size of the back pockets 

2. Pin down the lace to the pockets. 

3. Use your needle and thread to sew the lace onto pockets and make sure not to sew through the pockets.



Abbie decided to kick up her kicks a notch and added some studs to them. I have to say I'm quite envious on how they turned out.

Supplies:
1 pair of Converse High Tops
1 packet of large studs from MJ trim
1 butter knife or spoon

* I would suggest using a spoon or a butter knife to press the brads down once you've poked the studs through the fabric. It's pain free and it makes the project go faster.


Krista decided to do a project that I had done a few months ago. As soon as she saw my pair she said 'I want those! We have to make them!'

Supplies:
1 packet of large studs from MJ trim
1 pair of jean shorts
1 knife or spoon
a seam ripper or a pair of small scissors




1. Rip the seam half way down one side of the back pocket of your shorts. Make sure not to cut through the fabric.

2. Line up the studs where the top of the pocket use to be and start applying the studs. Feel free to add as many rows of studs as you would like.


Hope this inspired you have a girls craft night of your own!
