I know many of you have seen these hipster shorts and immediately wanted a pair. What better way to show pride for your country and make a fashion statement? A quick search on Etsy.com for "American flag shorts" gives some shorts that are selling for over $50! I made mine for under $5! This project will require some minor sewing knowledge (that can be easily learned) and some patience, but I think it's worth it! Plus, you get to tell everyone you made them yourself!
Materials needed:
- Shorts (an old pair of cut-off jeans would be perfect!)
- Red, white, and blue materials (I sewed together strips of red and white material. See the step 2 for more information and options)
- Thread and needle
- Pins (semi-optional)
- Sewing machine (optional)
- Fabric glue (optional)
Before you go out and get all of this stuff, read through all the steps first please!
