A Crafty Friday Night

Hello again!

 

 A few days ago, my mom came to me and asked if I wanted to go through some clothes that she didn't want any more before she took them to a local consignment store. As I was looking through them, I found a plain denim vest and decided to keep it. I figured that I could add something to it to add a little bit of color and make it more me.

 

I wasn't sure what I wanted to put on the vest but after thinking about it, I finally figured it out. Since I'm a fan of all things British, I decided to put the Union Jack on the back. Lucky for me, the back of the vest has a panel in the middle which made painting a lot easier.

 

Before I began, I put a piece of tape down the vertical center and the horizontal center of the vest. Next I decided to paint one color at a time.

 

First I started with the red:

 

Then I moved on to the white:

 

And last but not least, I did the blue:

 

This project took me about 6 hours in total because I let each color dry before I added another. I'm very happy with the way that it turned out and will definitely be wearing this vest.

 

 

I hope this post gets your creative side buzzing.

 

XOXO, Meghan!
