We are huge fans of the inexpensive leggings at Target, Wal-Mart and the like, but the downside is that so is everyone else! If you want to make your little one’s leggings a little bit more special we’ve got a few upgrade ideas for you!
We scooped up the Circo brand styles at Target and dug around in our fabric scrap pile for coordinating fabrics. With a little fabric glue, you’re good to go!
We cut out the scraps in circles and triangles and spread an even coat of glue over the patch. (If you have iron on fabric on hand that would be equally awesome!)
Here’s three more pant upgrade posts you might like:
1. 5 Minute, 5 Step, $5 Leggings.
2. DIY Stamped Pants
3. Tie-dye heart leggings
