D.I.Y all the time!

Poka Dot capris jeans

I was at the mall, when i saw these adorable Poka Dot jeans but they were $39.99. Don't think so! So i thought to myself ill just recreate these at home. Which came out to to be way cheaper to make, of course. I started with an old pair of jeans i was planning to get rid of anyways. All the other supplies are just at home items. Well, except for the Fabric paint i bought Tulip Matté white paint at Micheals. Which in the description may confuse you a little, SO LET ME CLARIFY that up before you get confused. I bought Tulip fabric paint, but when grabbing the paint to start the project i grabbed my SmartCraft white paint by accident. Which i did not realize until i was about to start painting. So I just switched the both right before I starting painting.
