DIY High-Waisted Ombre Shorts

Ombre Shorts are the latest trend for fashion. Its been popular these days and we wanted to try making it ourselves. You can be creative in how you want your design will be, just use your imagination. It's better to use your old jeans, be resourceful! For a design, you can use dyes to color your shorts or stick studs and spikes on it. Cut out Laces, animal prints and aztec prints can add to a cute look. If you want a hipster look, you could make a distressed or destroyed shorts. It's better do to a do-it-yourself short than to buy expensive shorts. ;)

So here are basic steps to make High-Waisted Ombre Shorts
Hope this helps!

Step 1. Get old jeans or buy a cheap high-waisted denim pants.


Step 2. Cut out the length you want to have. Make sure it's not too short so I suggest you cut an inch below the length you want. 


Step 3. Get a big rectangular bucket and add a cup of water. Dip your shorts in and add bleach to it. 


Step 4. Scrub some bleach on the shorts using an old toothbrush to give a faded effect. Don't forget to put on gloves!

Look how the white parts are appearing...



Step 5. Rinse it in water then dry for 2 hours.

To have a better result, wash it in the laundry.

FINISHED PRODUCT!
