The moment I saw Ear Cuffs I knew this was something I would totally wear/DIY. The style was right up my alley and when I saw them at Chanel, I was a goner.

 

 

 

 

Make sure you have very good glue and paper when you start. Cut out paper in the shape of your ear. start gluing the diamontes onto the cardboard. Make sure when you do this that the paper is flat. Use a strong glue. When your finished, take two (or three) ear clips and stick it at the back. Make sure you stick it with very strong glue. Of course, use good quality ear clamps. Finish with a chain and your done! If you want, You can ad more chains- the choice is yours. The finished result is eyecatching and totally spot on trend! Go on and bedazzle your ears!

DIY Safety Pin Crown

If you are into the fashion grunge look, you'll notice safety pins are making a comeback. Ive always found them to be very beautiful.

You'll need-

A Hairband

A lot of safety pins

Start  by creating a base of safety pins

Begin to build up from the base. Remember there's no wrong way.

I suggest to do it part by part. Its easier.

The finished hairband. Tada!!

Maybe I'll go a bit bigger on the top... who knows?

Rough Fits and Safety pins

So I've been gone a while - and for good reason. I've been working on my fashion show and creating a collection centered on Gothic archtitecture.

Here are some of the rough fits... and a DIy Sneek peak

And A future DIY....

DIY Mirrored Collar

DIY collars are making the rounds now - But this tutorial caught my eyes for a sheer ingenious idea!

A fabulous tutorial from Aetienne.net

For this tutorial you'll need-

CDs

An old shirt

Chopsticks

A bucket

Glue

Sissors

Instructions:

1. Cut out the collar from the shirt.
2. Place the CD into the container, and pour boiling water into the container. (Be careful and use a cup or something!)
3. Wait for 1-2 minutes. (Go watch an advertisement, or two.)

Pull the CD out of the water using chopsticks. Wait for it to cool.

Cut a section of the CD away.

You should be able to peel the reflective part away now.

Cut and paste onto the collar- done!

How to DIY an old scarf

I had an old scarf which was so beautiful but I hadn't worn it in ages! The  reason being it was torn from the bottom - But it looked so good on me I had to salvage it!

Since its made of chiffon, I sprayed the table lightly with water so it did not fly off and didn't shift.

Place the ruler on the torn part and even it out with a straight line. Mark with a chalk line.

Cut of the marked part and fold 1cm. iron - Since the cloth is wet it will act like its been pressed.

Stitch in a straight line down.

Cut of excess... Done!!
