DIY Colored Denim

  The fashion trend right now is skinny jeans and colored denim.   The Little Giggler took a dark pair of flare jeans and brought them up to be "in style" by taking them in with a serger, then bleaching and dying them.   That's a great way to refashion some of the jeans in your closet you don't love anymore.

See the dyed denim tutorial.

Some Party Highlights!

As usual, there are so many great ideas linked up to today's party! Here are a few of interest to me!!!

These vases at Nifty Thrifty Things used to be clear glass! They are so much more beautiful painted - from the inside out! Check out paint glass from the inside.

Painting chevron stripes is quickly becoming the rage. See how Bon Temps Beignet painted some chevron stripes!!!

Check out how EmmylouBeeDo turned a white onesie into this darling lovable St. Patty's shirt! This would work well for t-shirts too! I love the heart on the clover! Cute touch! You can print out the clover from this site.

I'm totally smitten with this bed made out of two matching vintage doors. One for the headboard and one for the footboard. See the pictures at Junk Restore.

Marble Tie Dye

Everybody loves to tie dye - especially kids! HERE is an easy technique for tie dying with marbles. It would be much easier for kids to do than of the techniques I am aware of and it looks great! Another fun summer or birthday party idea!

Visit Blooming Mommy to learn how to use marbles when tie dying. (I think little rocks would work in place of marbles too.)

Tie Dye Sandals

Give your plain or scuffed up sandals a whole new look by tie-dying them. Find out how at Dollar Store Crafts.
