Splatter painted clothing can’t be called a trend – its been seen on runways regularly since the 80′s and its ubiquity now can be plainly attributed to the Proenza/J Brand collaboration of last year.
For Spring 2011 Balmain offered a spin on the splatter with a line of ink-dripped and tie-dyed pants that give a similar effect. The problem with a lot of DIY splatter painting is the scale. To get the best results, you have to drip the paint from high above the item of clothing, and you need to vary the size of the splatters from large puddles to swarms of teeny drips. Try standing on a ladder to drip on your paint, and try dripping the paint out of a cup rather than flicking it on with a brush.
Once you have finished one side, allow it to dry thoroughly before flipping the pants over and repeating this on the other side. DIY Cutoffs with Closet Collage. Cut offs are a seasoned summer staple.

The Little Giggler: Pink Skinny Jeans {a re-fashion} Are you loving pastel skinny jeans as much as I am?
I've been seeing them everywhere and I just had to have a pair! I had this pair of dark jeans that someone gave me. I love dark jeans too, but these were a freebie so I figured "what the heck". They had a little flare, so I started by taking in the legs with my serger. Then I bleached them. *UPDATE: I used a plastic rubbermaid tub. All jeans are not created equal. Can someone please tell me why thread doesn't take bleach?
