Party Proof Festival Looks!

Image
Step by step I'm going to post tutorials on how to eventually create your total " Party Proof" Festval look!:) You should of course totally make it to fit your personal style, an just have a lot of fun with it! :D What do i mean by " party proof" ? Well, festivals are a place to let loose, party & Dance. So you don't want your outfit or accessories to prevent you from doing that in any way!;) Ok, Lets's start! 1. Elasctic " Party Proof" Accessories part I Everything is elastic so even with your wildest dance moves there is no danger of getting caught and hurting yourself️ Plus it's easy and comfortable to wear and on top of that.. Easy to make!!! - 1. Match your outfit by using some of the fabric or lining (or something that matches) for an elastic bracelet. Make it a little bit longer then half your wrist and sew it (easy by hand) to some thin elastic. Done! Add a charm or some fringes or paillettes and you're...

Easiest Summer Bracelets

Image
I want to post some more complicated jewelry as well, but lets start with some fun and really easy bracelets to brighten up the summer even more!:) Needed: elastics (preferable coloured an good looking but even normal elastic or hair elastic will do), charms ( I've mostly used open charms for this example to make a double elastic side but Making a single one is even easier (check anklets) so normal charms work good as well!), caps! soft metal caps to hide knots;) And if you like add beads, use cord with magnetic closing etc. More tutorials coming soon:) Take 1 peace of elastic, pull it through the charm on one side and then on the other side. Now either tie them together at the end, or 1 cm from the charm on both sides leaving a single (more stretchable) elastic in the back. Use the caps  to hide the knots and...Done already! :D on to the next! A good reason to work with elastics is that it fits anyone and it doesn't discolor (like chains or other metals) And (even t...

From Showercurtain To Raincoat!:)

Image
It worked! I had this idea, that the fabric of a showercurtain might be perfect for a poncho or a raincoat. So, i got a new one, and tried it out! Now, i have to admit it was a lot harder then i thought (mostly because I've never worked with this kind of fabric and I've actually never made a coat or a hoodie before;). But..It works! I'm going to tell you how i did it and I would love to see what YOU make of it! 1. Close the cutains Lay the showercurtain on the floor and fold the top and bottom to the middle. (a little bit more of the top/bottom if it's not trimmed correctly yet, mine had a good bottom and even buttonholes on top so i could totally use it as it was). Then start pinning or (to make it even easier) start taping paper tape on the places where you think you should cut/sew. Make sure to leave a stroke on top or bottom to make the waist belt later. 2.  Fill in the gaps You can either pin and try on first, or if you feel confidant sew the side and s...

6 Squares - 6 easy DIY Tops!

Image
We are going to make not 1 but 6 tops (or as many as you want of course;)! Don't be afraid to pick your best/prettiest leftover, handkerchief or tea towel, the tops are easy to make!:) Needed: Squares! A fabric that can be made into a square...use a tea towel and fold it in a square to get the basic size. Cords and/or elastic (check what you need for the version you want to make). Extra: maybe some rushing or lace or other trimming material, elastic, trimming will go much faster with a sewing machine but if trimming is already done (handkerchief) it's doable by hand, basically add whatever you have or want to finish of the look:) 1.  2. 3. 4. .5   6. WARNING: It's very addictive! Because it's so easy and looks so good and every style and fabric make it a whole new look. Make them all and more if you want ;) ,but i can suggest to start with nr.1, just to get the hang of it.  Just choose a version and follow the instructions...and Enjoy...
