Rainbow Crosswalks Atlanta + DIY Rainbow Pants for Pride

6/12/2017

Comments

 
The Rainbow Crosswalk first appeared it Atlanta fall of 2015, in Midtown, at 10th + Piedmont and in my opinion, it was one of the best things that have hit these streets. BUT OF COURSE, THEY (whoever THEY are) took it away after only 2 weeks.

BUT, rumor has it, they are back and here to stay! YAY!!! It makes me happy, because RAINBOWS, but it also makes me proud to live in a Atlanta. To let our LGBTQ community know they are loved and supported in this SOUTHERN city. It's strange times we're living in, but despite differences, one thing southerns are always good at is hospitality. As a southerner and a person who loves to travel, I know it is always nice to be welcomed. And how welcome folks must be flying into Atlanta to look down and see our rainbow painted streets! 

I love it. 

So in todays post I am sharing with you a pair of Rainbow Pants I made back in 2015, just to ware to the Rainbow Crosswalk. (True story! I don't own these pants anymore :( they got given away in a cleaning spree #regrets!!) Not sure why I didn't share this nearly two years ago, but I saved all this pictures- so here you go! Step by step below :)

Supplies :

  • a groovy flared pair of jeans
  • thin painters tape
  • Acrylic or fabric paint in all the colors of the rainbow
  • small paint brush

Steps :

  • lay your jeans out flat and tape down your first straight line, from the bottom cuff of the jean all the way to the waist line.
  • each color will be about 1/4 of an inch wide. Measure out 1/4 of an inch and then tape down your next straight line. I just 'eye-balled' mine, but you can use a ruler to make sure your lines a straight/spaced out evenly.
  • repeat until you have 7 straight lines of tape
  • decide the order of your colors. a tradition rainbow is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
  • carefully paint in between each line of tape, cleaning the brush well between each color.
  • let paint fully dry (probably a couple of hours) and then slowly peel away tape.
  • touch up spots with your paint brush

***when you  wash these, do them inside out :)
