Scissors, Savors, and Bleach!

I love love love denim vests! I have one already but I wanted a shorter one to be worn with crop tops or high waisted pants.  I bought a denim jacket at savors for $10 about three months ago, yeah I forgot about it....  Well I got board while studying for finals and decided it was time for arts and crafts.  I started by cutting the jacket to how I wanted the vest to look.  If you want the edges to look more frayed, start by cutting and then rip the rest of the undesired fabric.  It wont look frayed at first but a trip through the washer will do the job.  Once I got it cut to the length I wanted and the sleeves removed, It was time to bleach!  I tried using tiny hair ties and pins to give it a Tye dye look but I ran out.  I scrunched up the vest and stuck it in a plastic bag in my bath tub.  I used a half water/ half bleach mix, no need to measure or mix just take a guess.  I only planed to let it soak for two hours but I ended up falling asleep so it was more like 8 :/ opps... But hey it worked! I dumped out the bleach mix and rinsed the vest as much as I could.  I washed it on warm with a small amount of detergent.  I actually washed it twice and it still smells like I'm a walking swimming pool!  I cracked my window open and let it get some fresh air, that seemed to do the best job. It gets better with time.  If you wanna add a little something something you could buy studs at a craft store or sew on patches.  With the Christmas season I'm more broke them normal so this will have to do for now :)   Have a super awesome week and do something creative!
