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 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.

DIY Advent 20: Even More Shoe Jewelry ;-)
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
