Skirts. Dresses. Shirts. P.S.- I made this... Glitter Shoes Tutorial. Ok first things first.
I saw this idea on Sydney's blog (The Rabbit-Hearted Girl). The moment I saw it I knew I had to give it a try since every time I go in a store I touch the shiny glittery shoes and have to remind myself that I don't have a legitimate reason to buy them. However, DIYing them with a pair of shoes I was about to send to Goodwill... definitely legitimate! So without further adieu here's my version of the Glittery Shoe Tutorial: You'll Need:- Extra Fine Glitter- Mod-Podge (I used Gloss-Lustre)- Pair of Shoes- Sand Paper (or a nail file)- Bowl- Paintbrush (I didn't use the paintbrush above, it was too big)- And something to cover your work surface (I used tinfoil) You should probably sand the shoes just to make sure that the glitter and glue can adhere to the shoes as best as it can.
Next I sorted through the glitter I bought to decide which colors I wanted to use. Just mix the glitter together in whatever combination you'd like. Aren't they so pretty! And the best part? Easily Dunn. So I got this shirt in the 6th grade. And I keep on keeping it because I like the stripes or something…and maybe the colors. But I can’t wear it because a) it’s too short and b) it’s too thick to layer with anything. And in the middle of last week’s closet-purging, in a blinding stroke of genius, I decided to make it a cardigan. But the fastest, kind of laziest way possible. use a ruler and cut a line down the center of the front of the shirt. ok. you’re almost done. hem the edges with your hem tape, using the instructions that came with it. pick a button. then sew it on one of the sides where a normal button should theoretically go. it’s just for show so it looks like a legit cardigan. you’re not going to dilly-dally with making a button hole or anything because that’s just out of the realm of my patience.
I know you probably found this on pinterest or some craft blog somewhere…or something to that effect. Capelet from an Old Sweater Video. How to Make a Capelet from an Old Sweater I’m Claire.
I have an Etsy Store called Small Stars and I sell vintage Capelets made from felted sweaters. I’m a costume designer and a technician. I've worked for L.A. operas, into theater group and film. And I thought of my store really as a creative outlet and released for my fulltime work. This capelet is really good for an L.A. winter.
So today we’re going to turn our sweater into felt and I have with me a red sweater. Clothes.
