Worthless to Priceless Exhibition

For our Worthless to Priceless exhibition in Uni I decided to jazz up some of my shorts that I already had into something a bit more exciting than standard denim jeans. I wanted to do it as cheaply as possible to keep in with the theme of making something priceless from something with little worth and with things I had to hand. So i bleached the denim shorts with 70p bleach just chucked it in a bucket for half an hour put them in the washing machine...causing serious bubbles and scared faces thinking I had broken it...the came out like this...

 Then I just dipped them in a mop bucket with £3 dylon flamingo pink dye (chosen for the name...obviously) and gradually pulled the shorts further out of the mixture as I added more dye to make the mix stronger.

Then put them in the washing machine again (no bubbles this time), found an old skater belt that I used to wear back in the day.....awkward...pulled the studs off suprisingly easily and just stabbed them into the jeans and bent the back like butterfly clips. Sooo easy..before and after...
