DIY: High waisted shorts

So I decided it was time I finally make a pair. I was inspired a while ago by Alyssa's post, but I never got around to making them. But today, I finally did. It's pretty simple. All you need is a pair of scissors and some "mom jeans."


If you don't exactly know what qualifies a pair of jeans as "mom jeans," look for a very long zipper like the one in this pair:


Try your jeans on and decide about what length you would like them to be. I suggest keeping them a little longer so you are able to roll them up and cuff the ends. Mark your desired length with a pen and cut!




And there you go! A cute pair of shorts.






Currently listening to:

I got another pair of jeans to make into shorts, but I think I'm going to jazz them up a little more than this pair. Stay tuned for another DIY soon!
