DIY: Galaxy Leggings

You will need:
-A dark item of clothing of your choice
-Bleach
-A empty spray bottle
-Sponges
-Fabric paint or acrylic paint,blue,purple,red,white,yellow. (I used acrylic)
-A toothbrush
-A sharpened pencil
-Newspaper
-Cardboard

1.In the spray bottle make a mixture of half bleach and half water.Lay the clothing item of your choice on the newspaper.So the bleach won't run onto the other side,put cardboard inside the leggings.When you spray the leggings,focus on certain spots where you want your cosmos to be.It should start to turn orange.Let dry for 1 hour.(You can let them air dry or use a blow dryer).Once dry rinse in COLD water and let them dry again.

2.Water down some blue paint and using the sponge go all around the bleach spots and fill as much as the black spots desired.Let dry.

3.Next water down some purple paint and using another sponge go around the blue in the bleach spots and also anywhere else you desire.





4.Next water down some red paint.Use the red to blend the bleach spots and the blue and purple paint.Then add some white paint in the center of the bleach spots to make them stand out.Also you could add some yellow paint around the white to make it pop more.

Now time to make the stars! Using a toothbrush dipped in white paint , bend the bristles back to make small white specks.To make the larger stars take a sharpened pencil ,making "X" shapes and also dots using the tip of the pencil.If necessary practice on something else before making stars your selected item of clothing.

How To Make A Simple Hair Bow






P.S. CLICK ANY PICTURE TO ENLARGE  


First, cut a 8.5x5 inch piece out of your selected fabric. ( Iron first if any wrinkles )
Turn fabric upside down, then fold the top down toward the middle. ( "hotdog" style )


fold the bottom toward the middle overlapping the first fold just a little
take one of the sides and fold it in toward the middle
("hamburger" style). 



secure the fold with a dot of hot glue or fabric glue (so the fold doesn't come undone)



put a small amount of hot glue or fabric glue on the corners and fold them over


put a small amount of hot glue or fabric glue on top of the glued side and pull the other flap over 


fold the corners of the second flap, just like the first, this is how the  fabric should look so far


turn the fabric over, this is how the other side should look. Set this piece to the side
Next, cut another piece of fabric, about 1,5x6 inches 
fold the piece into itself 3 times (Optional: iron piece to prevent it from unfolding). Sit this piece to the side and pick up the beginning piece.


With this piece right-side-up, scrunch to get the desired creases


This is how it should look so far




wrap the smaller piece around the main bow piece, turn to the back and tie a know


tighten the knot (remember the knot should be on the back)


push a clip through the knot



WALA MAGIC you have yourself a bow!!!
