DIY GARTER TIGHTS

SUNDAY FUNDAY ;)!
I know my faithful viewers have been waiting for me to post this step by step tutorial on my DIY GARTER LEGGINGS ... well here it goes ; ) 



( sorry for the picture quality but I will be getting a professional camera soon!! )


WHAT YOU NEED:
- a pair of tights
- scissors
- black rope, string, ( anything you can use to tie something together )

PART 1



PART 2




STEP ONE:
- Cut your tights to your desired length .  I cut my tights a couple of inches above my knee.
- It is a great idea to try on the tights beforehand and mark with a pen or white eyeliner lightly where you plan to cut the tights.

STEP TWO:
- Your tights are now in half and it will look like the picture above.

STEP THREE:
- At the end of the top half of your tights ,  cut a tiny hole through the front and the back. 
- Make sure the hole is not at the very bottom because you need something for your string/rope to hang on to.

STEP FOUR:
-  Stick your fingers through the hole to stretch out the hole so it looks like what is being shown above.

STEP FIVE:
- REPEAT step four to the bottom half of your tights .
- Once your finished it should look like this.

STEP SIX:
- Cut your rope/string into four short identical pieces, about 4-5 inches each.
- Lay your top and bottom half of your tights down on a flat surface.
- Match your top front hole with your bottom front hole .
- Loop your rope in between the two holes joining them together.
- REPEAT UNTIL ALL YOUR HOLES ARE JOINED TOGETHER.

STEP SEVEN:
- This is what your tights will look like once your bottom and top half are joined together by the rope.

STEP EIGHT:
-  Finish project!


YOUR LEGGINGS ARE COMPLETE! ;)

Below are pictures of me wearing the leggings. I will post more pictures with me wearing my tights  in some upcoming posts.
