DIY Bleached Shorts!

Hey guys!
So, I am sure you've seen one of the biggest spring/summer trends! What is this trend?? Bleached shorts!!! I love love this trend and I'm going to show you a fabulous way to get this trend yourself, without having to go out and spend the 20+ dollars on a pair of shorts!

Supplies needed:
Bleach
Old pair of shorts/pants (if you don't have any old pants goodwills always a good idea)
Toothbrush
Measuring cup with spout
Rubber band

1. First, if your using pants, and you want to make them into shorts you will need to cut them. When you cut your own pants, then wash them, they will end up fraying at the bottoms. So, unless that's the look your going for, your going to want to roll them up twice when your wearing them. Therefore, when you cut them, keep that in mind. Also, you can always cut them more, but once you cut them, there is no turning back. Don't cut them to short! Try them on and see where you like them at. Always leave room for fixing any mistakes you make!
2. Next, I would recommend bleaching them in a bathtub/sink. First thing you want to do is crinkle one pant leg into a wad, then tie with a rubber band.
3. After, pour the bleach into the measuring cup. The measurement doesn't really matter, you'll be able to tell how much you need (But to start off I would recommend about 1 cup).
4. Start pouring the bleach over the pant leg. Keep in mind what look you want. For example, only a little bit of bleach stains, mostly bleached out, large dots of bleach, etc. Depending on what look you want will determine how much bleach will be used. If you want small dots of bleach, only use a little bit of bleach, and so on and so on.You'll be able to see the pants change color a little during this step. They probably won't be white though. Most likely they'll look a little greenish or a tan color.
5. Repeat these steps to your other pant leg.
6.YOU HAVE TO WASH AND DRY AFTER THESE STEPS!You won't be happy with the results if you fail to do this. It makes the bleach whiten up a bit. Also, if you used darker jeans, once your shorts are washed and dried, you might want to wet a toothbrush in bleach and go over the already bleached areas. The reason being is because with darker jeans, the first time you bleach, the bleach doesn't fully bleach the pants into a light color. It might be more of a greenish tan.
