I've found that the key to painting your clothing is use fabric paint and I prefer the Tulip Soft Matte Paints. They are washable, non toxic and once dry the paint is soft and moveable.
I used a pair of black pants from Target.
And then I added lots of layer of colorful brushtrokes just at the bottom the pant legs.
The result is super funky (and not for everyone) but I LOVE that a simple outfit can be transformed with lots of color and a little creativity!
Looking for some inspiration for altering that clothing?
Here are some of my favorites-
bleach painted shoes ice dyed dress embellished sleeves embellished socks embellished tank glue resist tunic leather fold over clutch simple lace tunic thread wrapped sandals
Very Papageno! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I am always looking for a new way to (affordably) add color to my wardrobe. This is such a great idea and so well executed!! I cant wait to try this. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI really like your new haircut. The pants are cute. I would love to see you paint a pair of denim with some flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable and beautiful in your painted trousers. For sure, you can pull off the look. (Love your hair too)
ReplyDeleteDid you do a little practice trial?
I used markers on a pair of old bell bottom jeans and made a hippy style pair of pants that I wore for Halloween. So fun. They remind me of my teenage years in the 70s.
Beautiful ideas.
