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
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.

DIY Advent 17: Bracelets from Plastic Bottles (PET)
Today I’ll show you how beautiful recycling can be. From plastic bottles (PET), some fabric and a little imagination you can tinker very pretty bracelets, which are also wonderful as a last minute own-Christmas present.
I made four different bracelets that you can use as inspiration. Elastic fabrics are the easiest to handle, as these are much more flexible. Solid fabrics should be at least twice as wide as the bracelet and be glued centered from the outside to the inside. …read more

DIY Advent 16: Spice Up a Sweatshirt with Shoulder Gathers
Mira asked me how she can spice up sweatshirts, so I let myself think of a few things. First, I show you how a basic sweatshirt, which I usually wore under sweaters in the winter, has become a cool part. You still may extend this project by adding a few colored beads, threads or rhinestones between the fabric ruffles. Meanwhile, I am satisfied with the outcome and will think it over later to see if something can be done. …read more

DIY Advent 15: Detachable Shoe Decoration – Second Set …and ACTION
Since I tinkered my first flexible shoe clips, it seethes in me and my new ideas get no borders. Out from the last remnants of my old leather pants I made this shoe decorations with sequins, rhinestones and studs. Since this is certainly not my last DIY project with shoes, I have to think about how to call these things. Until now, I call them “Shoe Decoration” 
Do you have an idea, perhaps? For any suggestions I would be very grateful.
