DIY Tribal Shorts


My beloved levi shorts were on their last legs, so I decided to give them a make over. 
This trend is is popular this season with H&M anD Topshop having both done denim shorts with tribal accents.

I had loads of paint left over from my textiles days,  so after researching a few aztec patterns, I got to work painting. 
I used acrylic and fabric paint, so I daren't put them in the wash until I find something to seal it onto the fabric! 

I started off with a few stripes. 



I then started adding a few patterns. 



I did it on the front and back pockets. 
And here is the finished result! 



I teamed them with a small black waist belt and my urban outfitters aztec bag which I got in the sale last year. 












I think I'll save these for the only festival I'm going to this summer.
