DIY studded denim collar. Sunday, 5 February 2012 DIY studded denim collar This really is such an easy thing to do that it doesn't really require a huge long-winded explanation; to be honest I just wanted to show you all my new favourite item of clothing!
You will need: a denim jacket (or any item for that matter) of the style/size you desire some press studs (I buy mine here) a surface/tool to press the backs of the studs down - I recommend the edge of an old table (bearing in mind it may get chipped) or a flat butter knife (be careful!) As I said this is SO SIMPLE that I don't really feel the need to explain in detail - you just need to push the studs through the denim in the pattern/design you want and flatten down the backs so that the studs stay firmly in place and you don't get poked.
I decided to do this little pattern with some large and small studs on the collar tips, however I may well decide to add some more in the future - perhaps on the pocket flap too. Labels: denim, DIY, studs, vintage 13 comments: DO IT YOURSELF: T-Shirt Weaving. I have a lot of t-shirts.
Long sleeved, short sleeved, too small, too big…. I especially have a lot of oversized t-shirts that I like to wear as tunic dresses. Because I have quite a few, I find it difficult to style them without being repetitive. So, inspired by books such as Generation T and Youtube tutorial experts like itsblitzzz and secretlifeofabionerd, I decided to try my hand at some t-shirt reconstruction. I designed the weaving pattern myself, it is quite simple and if repeated a few times creates an interesting chevron stripe pattern on the sleeve. Hope you enjoy this tutorial, feel free to comment or message me with any questions.

Our love of Minnatonka moccasins and obsession with Balenciaga‘s Fall 2010 shoes made this DIY we created for Foam Magazine a no brainer.
With just a tube of Tulip Soft Fabric Paint, a pair of paintbrushes (one thin and one thick) and a pair of suede moccasins, you’ll be ready to make your own color block shoes. (Tulip Soft Fabric Paint is best paint to use, as it is highly opaque, flexible once it dries and great for suede.) To paint the tops of the moccasins, the fringe will have to be tucked under. Simply untie the bow, pull the suede strings out of all the holes (note how it is assembled), and fold the flap under.
