Fashion and Fun, DIY at home
Once upon a time in the world of fashion, Betsey Johnson said that one should always have fun with fashion because you should dress to entertain yourself. Oh, dear reader, that is exactly how we want it to be for you!
So, when it comes to ‘Do-it-yourselves’, what comes to our mind is how we can completely turn our old clothes or old accessories into something funky! Hence, we have got for you some crazy ideas that will add a twist to your wardrobe and make you drool over your very trendy and wonderful creations. Isn’t that exciting?
There are many ways in which you can add a little drama to your entire outfit, and it all starts when one thinks of something creative, colourful or cheering. Let’s talk about those old clothes that you are so tired of wearing. What you can do with these is to cut out swatches from the contrasting fabrics and add them onto the other, to make a completely different garment. How about cutting your old denim shorts into pockets for your old t-shirts? Or cutting your dad’s vintage shirt into a very trendy crop-top with hinges? Or even painting the pockets of your old denim shorts? It is so much fun!
The best part about these DIYs at home is that you get to upcycle
what shouldn’t have gone to waste and you also get to show your very trendy artistic side. The other DIY is when you can paint your sneakers! Oh wow. Just take a few paints and brushes and make a very cute panda on the white sneakers you’re bored of.
Other fun activities include the making of neckpieces, earrings and rings from different ribbons, beads, or shells that stands out in our entire outfit. Playing with metal can give you such adorable pieces and no one is going to know where that came from. One can cut the sleeves to replace them with ruffles, or even add laces to the collars of the shirt.
Adding beads to your jeans is pretty much in trend right now and trust us, it looks stunning! Another hack is to add a cotton laser-cut lace at the bottom of that denim or shorts to give it a bohemian look. And when we talk about the funky denim pieces, how can we forget the loose bossy t-shirt over it? The best way to turn your whole look into a fun fashionista is to add colors. That’s why we think tie-dye at home is a spectacular way of turning your favorite old t-shirts or hoodies or even the joggers into something super cool. They are very much in-trend and easy to do, and there are several ways to get that tied pattern out. Nevertheless, it will be your own creation and totally worth it.
One can make bandanas from these dyed fabrics, add sequin to your converse, embroidery a sling bag, or even make pom-pomp hoops! Therefore, there are way too many ways to have fun with fashion, and it all comes down to how creative or crazy you want to go. There are a lot of different tops to be easily made, too much to do with footwear or jewelry. All you need to do is to take out all that creative craft stuff and make yourself a funky piece. Have fun with fashion and dress to embrace your inner self, life and fashion are all about that!
