DIY Advent 24: Spice up Your Dress with Chains

DIY Advent 24: Spice up Your Dress with Chains
Behind the last door of my Fashion DIY Advent calendar hide very easy instructions, which solved my New Year’s Eve outfit dilemma. The dress that I want to put on, looks somehow to be boring (apart from the deep V-neckline) and has to spiced up. The dress has a broad waistband, which gives a nice opportunity to emphasize the center. And because I still had left chains, the shoulder has been “gilded” as well ;-) …read more

DIY Advent 23: Push the Buttons

DIY Advent 23: Spice up old clothes with colored buttons
The penultimate instruction in my DIY Advent Calendar is very easy, but it takes about three hours time. For me, the effort has paid off, because my old H & M-overall, which I was wearing no longer at least 2 years, I have made made viable again. The charge compensates the effort, as to get these colorful little buttons found in a 200 pieces package starts at 50 cents.

Even more photos from my pimped jumpsuit you’ll find here in my fashion blog.

DIY Advent 22: Leather Loop (Bow Tie) Necklace

DIY Advent 22: Leather Loop (Bow Tie) Necklace selfmade
Yes, yes, there is only a small remnant from my old leather pants left, but this loop chain went out even more.
Today I’ll show you the basic instructions for this chain, whether if you leave the plain loop or spice it up somehow. On the bottom photo I provisionally fixed a couple of rhinestone studs, but I’m still not sure whether I should really let them off or not even take a few more rivets. But I will think about doing this after Christmas, when I have more time. For now, I think even the bow tie without rivets as necklace is very original. …read more

DIY Advent 21: Spice Up a T-shirt with Fabric Remnants and Chains
Perhaps you have made this DIY project and there are some fabric remnants left over? For these lying around not too long and needing unnecessary space, I have written these instructions. Before working on this T-shirt, I have already spiced up the same top in black and was so excited that now this gray top even “had to believe in it”.
By the way, with these DIY instructions there is no need for sewing and are suitable for DIY beginners. …read more

DIY ADVENT 20: Detachable Shoe Jewelry with Flowers
This is one of my fastest DIY projects ever. What’s needed is less than 10 minutes and you will get a pleasing end result. The flower can be individually placed, so the shoes still look always a little different. My flowers I have separated from another (ruined) pair of shoes. …read more

DIY Advent 19: Barcelet with Disco Balls Selfmade

DIY Advent 19: Barcelet with Disco Balls Selfmade
This small disco balls I found in the Christmas department of an furniture shop. I thought they would be for hanging on the Christmas tree, but unfortunately the balls should be used as deco confetti. I noticed (usually) only when I was home. And as I do not need any deco confetti, I made with the disco balls this bracelet and another earrings. For me this was the better (and faster) way than to try to get cash in exchange from the harried sales clerks. …read more

DIY Advent 18: Spice Up a Top with Fabric Remnants

DIY Advent 18: Spice Up a Top with Fabric Remnants
This idea was inspired by a photo from an earlier collection by Vivienne Westwood. There I saw skinny jeans, which were provided on one side with colored dots. It looked really great, but I would not like to snip my jeans to pieces, so i took one of my (minimum 100) black tops. I am thrilled with the end result and have already cut some colored circles, which I will now be stuck to my jeans.
