Go back in time and tune into your inner flower child with this bell bottom DIY. Look at it as being "enviro-fashionably-friendly" and upcycle a pair of skinny jeans you forgot you had.
An old pair of skinny jeans you've bravely decided to transform, a sewing machine, scrap denim or funky fabric, a pair of scissors, seam ripper, and a ruler are all you need for this fashion-reviving project. This crafty activity is a little more time-consuming than most but the final result is definitely worth it.
Create them as a gift for a previous happy hippie or just add a little history to your wardrobe. With retro looks making a comeback anyways, this psychedelic bell bottom DIY is incredibly hard to ignore.
