Prints are a big trend this fall, especially printed bottoms! One of my favorite prints is polka dots! Polka dots are one of those classic prints that never get old and somehow always come back into style looking fresh and revamped. I work in a retail store and we recently received polka dot tights that I thought were perfect for fall AND my next DIY project! This project is super easy and the outcome is polka-perfect!
What you'll need:
1. Tights- I bought mine at Target for $5
2. Matte Fabric Paint
3. A Paint Brush- I used the paint brush once to spread the paint but it isn't used a lot and not completely necessary
4. A Blow Dryer
Everything together cost around $10!
To start your project, you're going to start by putting your tights on. You are then going to take your fabric paint and begin painting polka dots! Terribly hard and complicated right?...No!!
Unfortunately the paint does sink through onto your leg, but it can be easily washed off in the shower! It is important to paint the tights while they are stretched out onto your leg. If not, the polka dots won't come out good.
After you're done painting, you can get a blow dryer and dry them. If you have time, you can also let them air dry while you're wearing them. Just make sure not to rub against anything!
And there you have it, polka dot tights perfect for the fall! Try wearing them with a skirt or you can mix prints and wear them with a striped tunic like I did!
Now its your turn to polka-dot-it-up and DIY in style!
