I love DIY projects! I see lots them on other blogs and they always appear to be so easy to do. These two did not seem too difficult to me so I thought I would give them a try. Not only were they super easy, they were very inexpensive and I was quite pleased with the outcome! If ‘ole nimble fingers (me) can do these, surely you can too.
I must give credit where credit is due. These DIY’s come courtesy of thanksimadeitblog.com and honestly.wtf.com I have provided a link to each specific project. Both sites are quite creative and I have literally spent hours on them scouring for new ideas.
This tee cost me a whopping $3.99 and I possess my own pair of scissors. It really does have an Isabel Marant “feel” and the fact that I clearly can’t cut in a straight line makes it even cooler to me. Give it a try here.
I already owned this costume pearl necklace however I did purchase the gold safety pins suggested in the link. I have oodles of pins left over that I will use for another project (and I can always remove the pins from the necklace.) I’ve seen other DIY’s where the safety pins are pinned in clusters on the front of a shirt or all over the shoulders of a trench coat.
I will say this – I wore this necklace in Paris and received many compliments on it. At least I thought I did, they were all speaking in French! Original Gold Safety Pin Necklace post on honestlywtf.com
Those are both seriously cool. I love the DIY feel of the whole thing, and I wish more people would get into that. Honestly, how is that any less chic and attractive than stuff that costs hundreds of pounds/dollars more?
More of that kind of thing!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for the shout out– your tee looks so great! Could I feature it on my blog’s facebook page?
yes- of course! And it is super cool and easy to make. I love all of your stuff!
