the DIY: LIGHTNING TIGHTS

Today we're showing you how to make these fun lightning tights!
You will need:
- Multi-surface paint in white and a color of your choice
- Blank opaque tights
- Chalk
- Baggie
 
 Put your tights on and mark where your knees are. Be careful not to use something like a Sharpie that will show through the paint (learned the hard way). Chalk would be good to use. I just put a line above, below, and to the left and the right of my knee cap.
 
 Put cardboard between the tights so the paint doesn't get on the backside of the tights. Freehand a lightning bolt over one knee of the tights.
 
 Trace the lightning bolt onto a baggie.
 
 Cut out the lightning bolt and tape it down on the other knee. Outline the shape.



Fill in the lightning bolts with white paint. I had to do two layers- letting the paint dry in between coats.
 
 Once it has dried completely, paint the colored paint on top.
 
 Wear your tights!
