DIY Upcycled Denim Shorts

-

Do you have a pair of old jeans that are plain and boring? Are you about to get rid of a pair that fit okay, but are too short so you can't wear them anymore? Don't worry, you can turn old into new with this project!
What: DIY Upcycled Denim Shorts
Materials Needed: old jeans, scissors, ruler, marker

 1. Lay the jeans flat in front of you.
2. Mark where you want to cut them. If you want to draw perfectly straight lines, you can use a ruler.
3. Cut along your markings. You can cut your jeans in a jagged way for an edgy feel or straight and neat for a crisper look.
4. Roll up the hem.
5. Optional: Pull out threads and tear the edges artfully for, well, edginess. 
6. Optional: Or instead, make a ton of snips upwards from the hem for boho fringe.
7: Optional: Cut out a long narrow piece of lace and use fabric glue to attach along the hem of the jeans for a sweeter look. To add sparkle, sew on rhinestones and sequins to the pockets, or pretty embroidery.

But before you declare it as nothing special, ask it for a meal. Yes, seriously, because then it will magically whip up absolutely anything  you desire...Croissants, raspberry pie, carrot-ginger soup, walnut fudge, or even pizza. It makes absolutely perfect hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles. Just as long as you pay the hat decent salaries. It also demands a vacation. Also, Merlin's hat has been known to spit chocolate when it gets annoyed, so be careful not to sit on it by accident.  3. Mackenzie the Wicked Witch of the West's Designer Platform Sneake...

100WC-Week#20-Happy Birthday by Yoanna

My chorus class began singing “Happy Birthday.” It was a last-minute rehearsal before our chorus teacher, Mr.Welling would arrive.   I cringed! Ugh … it was completely out of tune… Who knew singing “Happy Birthday” could be so difficult? It is when you’re singing a four-part harmony version. “Stop!” I shouted. “Re-do!” “Shhh,” said my classmate, Amira. “Mr.Welling coming!” “Quick, everybody, hide!” hissed my classmate, Darren. We scattered and darted behind doors and pieces of furniture. Footsteps. The door creaked open. Mr.Welling’s shiny black shoe entered the room. Then my class and I jumped out. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted.
