Do It Yourself!

One of the other things I am really passionate about, besides fashion and taking outfit photos, is DIYs.

I constantly find myself on the internet looking at the enormous variety of tutorials and inspirations for my next DIY project.

So I thought I would integrate that passion here on to the blog. 

By posting weekly DIY inspiration and tutorials I find on the web, followed by my attempts at them.

These are my 5 fave DIYs of the Week:

1. DIY Zipper Blazer

I love this idea! I saw a few of these zipper jackets/blazers on Lookbook a while ago.
The link leads you to a tutorial with very clear steps, so it seems pretty simple to make, if you have all the materials. I already know what to recycle to make this! ;-)

2. DIY Yoyo Flower Necklace

Also by the same DIY blog. A pretty easy yet cute necklace.
I have tons of scraps from sewing clothing, so this will use them up.
I think I will make some for my little sister and my nieces. They would love it!

3. Fringed Tshirt DIY

photos from: SABRINA TURNER DESIGN

This is a great summer DIY idea. Although I am not in summer now I think doing this to my old tshirts seems enjoyable.

4. Tank Top To Beach Tote

I'm not much of a purse girl. I prefer across the shoulder bags and clutches.
  I never tried drawstring bags though, I think they would be nice to carry things.

5. DIY Straw Necklace

I can't believe this is made with straws. So cool.
I will definitely try this, the materials are too easy to find. ^_^

That is all for this week.
I will be attempting at at least 2 of these DIYs and show you the results.
Here's to happy DIYing!!
