My Favorite DIYs for Summer

Since Summer is JUST AROUND THE CORNER and since I LOVE SUMMER I thought I’d revisit my Perfect-for-Summer-DIYs because… why not? So without further ado…

DIY-v-neck-t-shirt-dress-8

* Drop Waist V-neck T-shirt Dress DIY this dress is super easy, and if you don’t have a sewing machine or serger, you can easily hand-stitch it together. I love this dress for around the house but did wear it out here and here.

* DIY Ruffles on Your Bathing Suit …easily spruce up an old bathing suit, using an even older bathing suit, to add ruffles! {wore this last Summer & still in perfect ruffly condition} Would also be cute on a triangle top or across the top of a bandeau one or two piece.

* DIY an Oversized Cropped Tank from an old T-shirt This one may be trendier now than it was when I DIY’d it. I wore it over a fitted t-shirt here but if you’re a youngin’ just wear it over a lace bra or bikini and a pair of cut-offs and you’re good to go!

handbag DIY+beach bag+how to make a bag out of a tank top-1

* Refashion a Tank Top into the Perfect Beach Bag in a Snap! I honestly LOVE this easy DIY …no, it won’t carry your books to and fro class, but it will hold all of your beach essentials as you make your way from the sand back to your car.

Cotton T-shirt bathing suit cover-up-DIY-pool-1contrast

* SUPER Easy Bathing Suit Cover UP Only materials needed for this one are an oversized V-neck and a pair of scissors. You decide how low you want the sides!

blue-ruffle-shoes-flats-1

* DIY Ruffles on your Sandals MORE Ruffles? Yes 🙂 …add them {or create smaller, separate flowers} to any of your strappy sandals for Summer. I used satin for this tutorial but would be great in terry cloth for summer so just cut up an old beach towel. {jersey from an old t-shirt would be adorable as well}

Refashion Sweat Pants DIY-8

* Refashion Old Too-Short Sweats into Cute Cropped Harem Pants …and this one’s great for the girly kiddos too! No more high waters with this easy DIY.
