My weekend makes!

Stay tuned for more photos and tutorials of how to make your own glitter boots and bag, wrapped rope necklaces and cute colar necklace.

Crafterly weekend!

It’s one of those rare occasions in which the BF and I are not together for the weekend. To avoid panic and boredom (and an overdose of Dexter), I decided to start and finish some projects I’ve been eyeing up.

Glitter up
The DIY blogs are full of MiuMiu-inspired glitter shoes at the moment and I had my eye on these Topshop babies for a while now. How fortunate that I happen to have an almost identical pair of brown boots in my wardrobe. I’ll be transforming them into pink glitter boots!

It’s a wrap
Spotted on catwalks and around the blogshere, these easy-to-make, wrapped rope necklaces are sure to add a touch of summer to your winter wardrobe. I’m making a load to wear together or seperate, as a burst of colour.

Embroidery 101
My first embroidery project is coming along nicely and I hope to finish this weekend. It turned out to be a lot easier than I first thought, hurrah!
I will keep you posted of my three fab weekend makes, that will definitely keep me out of boredom’s way.

Embroidered Jeans

Isabel Marant A/W 2011

One of my favourite designers of the moment is Isabel Marant. I love the easy-going feel of her outfits, the silhouettes which combine slim-fit jeans and oversized sweaters and blazers. After stumbling upon a pair of knee-high suede and leather boots in the sale this summer I’ve been completely infatuated.

 

Unfortunately with designer style comes a designer price and I’m just not in the position to pay that kind of money. Luckily I’m handy with a needle and thread and after seeing these white embroidered jeans I was sure I could have a go at the Navaho print myself. 

 

 It’s my first embroidery project so bear with me, I hope to post some pictures of my progress soon as!
