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.
This is so cool! Very nifty and creative! Reminds me of friendship bracelets also :)

This is amazing. When I first saw the pictures I thought you sewed/glued on the tribal fabric. I am so surprised you actually painted that!!! It is awesome!!!! You did a great job.
