Painted "Chevron" Maxi Skirt TUTORIAL

Hello! I'm glad you stopped by! Today we're going to add some zigzag to a Baby Maxi Skirt! 


Doesn't it sound just thrilling? And it only took about a half hour to do! Look at it!

Adorable, right? Well, here's what you need:

Baby Maxi Skirt
Fabric Spray Paint
Masking Tape

Got your stuff? Let's go! First, you will take your tape and make the zigzag, trimming corners so that they line up,

I even had fun and made them irregular, and the space between varying. I admit, if I get caught up in a trend at all, I try to put my own spin on it. It's no fun to be the same as everyone else! Anyway, now that you have the masking tape on there to your satisfaction, it's time to paint!

I wasn't sure how far the paint would saturate, so I stuck newspaper between the layers, and I went outside with newspaper underneath my project. Obviously my newspaper needed to be a little bigger. Luckily it came off of the concrete without too much work! 

The best way to ensure that your paint is even across your project is to start spraying off of the project, go across evenly, and stop off of the project. I went back and forth across until it looked how I wanted it. I went inside and gave it a little while to dry. About 15 minutes later I came out, flipped it over, and repeated! After I was satisfied with how dry it was, I took it inside to survey my handiwork. (The paint on the tape takes longer to be dry to the touch than the fabric, so I waited until the tape was dry, just to be safe)

Peel off the masking tape. It should come off quite easily, and it shouldn't have been on there nearly long enough to leave any sticky. 

I let mine dry for a couple more hours, and then I put it on Tiny One! I couldn't wait any longer to see it modeled! She loved it, too!

 Here's the back:

And the front:

Love it!

NOTE: Make sure you follow the instructions on the fabric spray paint you purchase. Mine said to allow the paint to set 72 hours before I washed it. I'd rather not mess up anything, so I did what it said! You should, too!

This method can be applied to any article of clothing, or accessory. It just has to be fabric paint for fabric, or an appropriate paint for whatever else you want to do! And it's certainly not limited to zigzag! Be creative! If you have any questions, or if you want to special order one of these, send me a message!
