Kittens, it's DIY time! I made a skull cut out shirt in approximately 8 minutes and I ADORE IT. First, I dug through every single space in my house that could possibly have a potential shirt for me to thrash. (I happen to find an oversized black one, but it has a Sony logo on it...such is life.)Then, I laid it out on a flat surface and with a pencil I lightly drew two eyes, a nose, and teeth that I could cut out so there would be holes. After that, I simply snipped the swatches of fabric out of the holes I drew and voila, skull skully shirt!
What is the spider web like thing clinging to the rest of my body, you may ask? I also attempted to make a "shredded T-shirt" which took FOREVER, but it is probably one of the most eye-catching shirts I own to this date. All I did to make it was rip the seem at the bottom of the shirt and then pull the threads apart until you get the effect you want. Might I add, I worked on it every day in my Physical Education class while my teacher was blabbing about the rules of gym games. Best investment of my time. Ever.
" Why would you spend your class time hunched over like a weaving grandma, just to kill a perfectly fine T-shirt?!" (Words from my beloved mother:))
Best cashiers at the sale, displaying my "Gift with Purchase"...I know...It was free OK!
Alright, before I explain the photos above, I want you to put your self in my shoes (at the time I was wearing Jones New York Combat Boots;)). If you walked into 500 square feet of clothes that were up to 85% off, what would you do and where would you start? Don't know? NEITHER DID I!!! On May 8, I set out to try and under take the task of rummaging through clothes at an American Apparel Flea Market Sale. The two-day sale started at 10 am and ended at 8 pm and was re-stalked every few hours. Lets just say I was in the lower level of the store fighting people off from my treasure-like stack of clothes for too many hours! With sweat running down my brow due to the heat of the large amount of people vigorously going through clothes, I managed to find some outrageously cheap and eccentric pieces. So, the break down of some of my favorite buys: three California Select Vintage dresses $10 each, California Select Vintage riding pants $10, Neon pink Gloria V body suit $12, Silver high waisted Hot Short $5, and "SELF SERVICE F/W 07" coffee table book for $4. Don't worry everyone, I spent all of my saved up money on these extremely necessary things:) I hope if there is ever a flea market sale near you, you attend for your benefit. I know I would go again in a heart beat.
