Big floral prints are all the rage in fashion right now and I’m all for jumping on the that band wagon. It’s bold, classic, and feminine… everything I like when it comes to my wardrobe. And, for all you “DIY-ers” out there I’ve discovered a way for you to create this bold fashion statement yourself. The answer: celery. I know it sound weird, even my husband gave me the “you’re crazy” look when I told him I wanted to buy celery for a t-shirt refashion. But the results were fabulous, and the steps to re-create this look are so simple!
1. Cut top off of celery.
2. Dip in paint. I recommend using fabric paint; however, you can also mix a textile medium with acrylic paint to make your own.
3. Stamp on fabric. Be sure to place a piece of cardboard inside your shirt before you begin stamping so the paint does not bleed to the other side.
shirt: refashioned // skirt: Gap (old) // vest: JC Penny // shoes: Famous Footware // earrings: Kohl’s
Below are some of my sources of inspiration. If you can’t tell, I’m kind of into the color blue right now.

That is just too clever/nuts/fun! How did you even see the flower in the celery. We have an expression in the UK which fits here “I’m gobsmacked!”
btw I do love it too!
Ooh I love it. It makes such a nice design
