This DIY guide shows you one of many possibilities to spice up a boring headdress. Usually it needs only a glance into the dark corners of your closet, where some non-worn pieces are just waiting to be re-discovered. I’ve done it with an old beret, but it works with headdresses of all kinds. This DIY project should be best used as break filler during a television night (I sucessfully tried it by myself ). …read more

DIY Advent 13: Earrings with Tassels selfmade
After this DIY project, I had a piece of my black fringe curtain left and, as I am a world champion in recycling, I tinkered this tassel earrings from them. As I have already made 2 other pairs of earrings, I tried this time to make a bit longer version with pearls. I like them very well, I hope you, too.

DIY Advent 10: Sequin Loop on a Top
The tenth DIY Advent door hides an approximately ten-year old top (how fitting!) which I spiced up with a sequined loop. For my Top I took a 1.50 m long and 6 cm wide sequin scarf that was indeed beautiful, but rather scratched me on the neck, so I did not wear it any longer.
Before we start with the instructions, I would say that most of sequined fabrics are very thin and they should at least be folded double. It looks much better when the loop is shimmering brightly.
