 there is nothing I love more than a fun diy project, so when I saw this picture of an american flag, I knew I needed to make something out of it.

supplies needed:

white t-shirt // red fabric paint // blue fabric paint // paintbrushes // scissors

cut off the sleeves and the collar of your t-shirt at the seams. it’ll look like a muscle tee, but that’s what you want!

paint the stripes in a messy sort of pattern. keep the lines straight, but keep dragging the brush down to get that worn in feel. next draw in your stars, and luckily they don’t need to look neat.

ta-da! the finished product!

and i can’t forget the obligatory instagram shot…

I love everything about the fourth of july, and count it as one of my favorite holidays. This year in fashion stars and stripes have been all the rage. From star-printed dresses to nautical striped tops, they’re everywhere. The color combination of red and blue hasn’t just been reserved for the fourth, but has made its appearances in many a fashion line. Go check out J.Crew’s website and you’ll know what I mean. I love “patriotic fashion” and these following bloggers have some of my favorite takes on this look:

atlantic-pacific

sincerely, jules

the daybook

the pink peonies … (i’d add a red lip!)

gal meets glam

cupcakes&cashmere … (i’d swap out the headband, do a high pony, and stained red lips!)

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

take a peek…
