DIY: Bow Pocket Jean Shorts!

Although these jeans look like they cost a fortune, you can easily make them at your house for cheap! 

The only things you'll need are:

1. Old jeans (you can buy a pair for $2 at Goodwill!)

2. Scissors

3. Sewing needle (I used a hot glue gun because I can't sew...)

4. A pen or pencil

5. And tweezers (optional) to distress the shorts

This is very easy to do, but it does require time, so be patient! The first thing you need to do is try on the pair of jeans and draw a line with your pen how short you would like it to be. Then cut it and fold if over so that the other leg is the same length. After you cut both legs off, use your tweezers and pull at the bottom (where you just cut) and pull the strings loose. Now turn it over to the back and this is the part where it will take a while. Measure about 3 fingers from the top of the pocket and make a small incision. Make sure you don't cut all the way through! Then, cut it all the way across and do the same to the other side. Cut the hem off of the piece you just cut. After that, cut a small strip from the jeans and wrap that around the pocket to make the form of a bow. Hot glue it or sew it and let it dry. 

Ta-da! You have just made your very own personalized jean shorts! Take a bow (get it? BOW pocket jean shorts!) Anyways, these are very great for the summer and keeps you cool while being fashionable! You can also put lace on them, or just cut them by themselves. Be creative!
