DIY Miu Miu Cady Shorts



One day I was dream shopping on Net-a-porter and came across these babies, cute! But let's be honest, £1,250 for shorts, no matter how many beads on might not be worth it. I'd rather buy a fancy bald sphinx cat. So yeah, DIY time.

You'll need:

1 pair of plain shorts, mint in colour if you are into copying the Miu Miu ones completely like me
Lots of beads, seriously, a lot.
Scissors
Thread
Hand needles


I got my shorts from Forever21, they were a cheap £12, is everything in Forever21 £12? Anyway, they were the perfect colour and the perfect price if I messed them up.


My beads were a hobby craft special. I think they were £4 for the large size tub and the beads are all randomly mixed so I could pick ones that were different colours and tones, I put in a few golds and browns to make the colours a bit deeper.


Now, I am sure that I don't need to offer instructions on to hand sew beads onto something but I shall leave you with this gem. Be careful with how many bead you sew on the insides of the legs. I went down to just one bead so it wouldn't look weird like it would have if I left it bare, but when wearing these shorts they still congregate in a rather alarming way.


With Love from,

Emma x
