DIY | Replacing A Button. My beloved silk vintage shirt lost it's top button. I replaced it with a tiny sliding lock.I sewed the lock in place with rayon thread, regular cotton thread could fray and break by the sharpness of the metal. Then I squeezed the part where the lock should slide into(see detail picture) so that it becomes more rigid and harder to close. This way when the lock is closed it will stay in place and not open by itself. DIY | Transparent Cuffs. Transparent jewelry, accessories and heels seen at la Maison MM, Simone Rocha and pretty much every where else.
Perspex is such an easy material to work with, it bends with heat and hardens in regular temperatures. If you own an oven, you can make these! You can be sure that I'll be experimenting more with this material(sensing a neck cuff?) , but for now I'm estatic about today's project and can not wait to wear my cuffs over a thin knit or silk longsleeve, they literally go with everything.What you will need:A piece of perspex (available at any hardware store)A figure saw for metalAn ovenfile Measure how long you want to cuffs to be, the measurements I used were11cm(length) by 14cm(round).
Heat your oven to 200°C and place your square of perspex inside on a flat oven tray. Take out your square with oven mittens and immediately start to bend it into shape while wearing oven mitts. *For everyone who decides to make them, e-mail me a picture! DIY Advent 22: Rope Waist Belt DIY - Outfits, Shoes & Accessories Dana. A few years ago there was a big hype with the lanyards. Wherever you went, you got one as a present. By the way I got a large collection of these lanyards, although I didn’t really need one. Recently, therefore, I removed the caps of all my lanyards to keep them for my fashion DIY projects.

DIY Fendi Frill. It was love at first sight when we laid eyes on the amazing oversized, billowy, ruffled frills adorning the Fall 2010 runway looks at Fendi. We immediately wanted one and just couldn’t imagine having to wait another several months to actually see these frills materialize. With some research, persistence, and umpteen botched attempts, we finally figured out a fail-proof pattern. And obviously, we’re sharing it with you! You’ll need:2 pieces of wool felt2 pin backsa few buttonsa few pinsa hot glue guna sewing machinea pair of fabric shearsan ironour frill pattern For a fuller and longer frill, print the pattern as it is on 11″ x 17″ paper at 100%. Sew the felt together along the straight side, with a 1/4″ inseam, down to the end. Run a zig zag stitch down the center of the front side of the frill. Your Fendi-inspired frill is finito! Pin the frill to any blouse, shirt or dress.
(all images by Honestly…WTF) DIY Door Knocker Belt. After discovering lion drawer pulls at the hardware store a few weeks ago, we were immediately reminded of this vintage Moschino jacket spotted on Jane of Sea of Shoes. They were obviously too amazing to pass up and we knew we had to incorporate the mini door knockers into a DIY.
Luckily, we were able to track down the same lion head drawer pulls online so now you can join in on the fun! You’ll need: Start by placing the drawer pulls along the backside of the belt and place them to your liking. Mark the placements with 4 evenly spaced cross sections with a pen and ruler. With the hole punch, carefully punch out the holes. Push the screws through the holes and twist on the drawer pulls, tightening each one with a screwdriver. Your Moschino-inspired belt is finito!

Loves, Promise. ∆DIY∆ Ear Wrap. This post is having technically difficulties.
See a similar post here. Things you need for this DIY: *17 inches of wire *some chain *cruelty-free feathers (if you can't find cruelty-free, skip the feathers) *pliers *a needle Total time: 30 mins Total cost: $4 (excluding pliers) These ear wraps have been popping up all over the place and I love how they look. I took the 17 inch long piece of wire and bent the end over about three inches (enough length to wrap around my ear). I bent it to the right shape. Then I bent the rest of the wire back towards the hook and wrapped it around itself making little loops. Finished. Then I poked a hole through the stem of the feather with my needle. I threaded the wire through... ...and wrapped it around. I added a bunch of chain and that was it! Super easy. Don't have the time to DIY? Enjoy!
