DIY Heart Tights

Craft & Design

Last summer, I wore a pair of semi-opaque light blue tights to a friend’s birthday party. One of the toddlers there, a little girl, was fascinated and couldn’t stop looking at and trying to touch my legs. Tights are really interesting. And funny. In shape and size, they look just like your own legs, but painted.
The Clothes Horse has a tutorial for adding hearts to the knees of your tights. I think it brings out the levity and humor inherent in the strange accessory that is tights.

    Cute! I made a tutorial for a similar project, but with fabric spray paint, which you can see here: http://transientexpression.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/tutorial-tuesday-stenciled-leggings/
    Painting tights is pretty fun and easy, and it really makes them stand out.
