DIY Cut Out Leggings

Again, super easy diy. These should NOT be as expensive as they are.

Go grab a pair of super comfy jersey leggings from f21 for around $5.
put on the leggings and mark where you want your circles and how big with sewing chalk. Doesn't have to be perfect here.
If you have a circle drawing problem, make some quick templates out of cardboard and grab something circular to trace. Cut out with xacto knife or box cutter (careful please).
Trace these circles over where you originally marked while they were on you.
Grab a very sharp pair of shears and cut out the circles.
If you're worried about fraying use some of that anti-fray stuff you can buy at fabric stores. it shouldn't fray though.

Good luck!






Can be found at 80spurple on sale for $47.00 originally $78.00.

DIY Pattern Leggings/Tights

Okay I'm not sure how well this will work with tights but a pair of cheap spandex/(possibly regular cotton) leggings from forever21 will work fab.

First step is putting on the tights. Make sure you have an idea of what pattern you want to cut into these. This is one of those, if you mess up there's really no easy fix (I guess you could hand sew it but that's just super time consuming).

YOU NEED A SUPER SHARP PAIR OF SHEARS!

Cut away starting at the top of your leg/thigh and go down! Careful to not cut yourself. When you're finished with the front take them off and put them on backwards so you can get the same pattern on the front and the back (if that's what you want).

Wear them out and you're sure to get some attention and compliments!

Good luck!

DIY Lacerated Leggings

Looking for a new way to slash those leggings that's not the same old cliche vertical way?

Here's a great idea :) I love these.

Just put them on and take a sharp pair of scissors (please don't cut yourself) and make tiny snips in random groupings. Then take them off, put them on backwards, and repeat for the back side! Just don't cut near your booty!
