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.

For this DIY project you need:

1.) uppers that you want to spice up
2.) colored buttons
3.) transparent yarn and needle

THE INSTRUCTIONS:

DIY PROJECT: Spice up old clothes with colored buttonsA cup of hot chocolate and a few Christmas cookies, start a good DVD (preferably a movie you already know) and by the way sew the colored buttons just like at the picture on your top, skirt, trousers or whatever. DONE!

TIP: Since the loosely yarn scratches on the body, you should always knot the ends of the yarn on the upper side and cover the knot with the next button.
