Been too busy to really study Fashion Week this year but there was still plenty to see and more DIY ideas than you can shake a glue gun at.
Two simple but stunning necklaces above and below.
With a stencil and glitter fabric paint, you can put your name (or a friend's) on a basic clutch.
Mimic the look of J.Crew with a few yards of eyelet lace.
Colored plastic, cookie cutters and chain could make a hip necklace.
Mod Podge and paint silk flowers and create a necklace like Oscar de La Renta.
My fav - reconstruct an I Love New York t-shirt like Phillip Lim.
Cool bag but note the bangle. Could it be done with textured scrapbooking paper over metal?
Check out the eye and the lips on the box clutch. Why didn't I think of that for my Betsey Johnson clutch.
There are lots of tutorials for envelope clutches. Make one with bright faux patent leather.
Super easy clutch makeover requiring only a glue gun and interesting lace.
Make this look with a tasseled shawl wrapped as a skirt.
And since I'm in New York and carried this bag during Fashion Week, although not technically at Fashion Week, I'll stick my DIY floral clutch in there, too.
Did you find inspiration in Fashion Week?

Love all of this inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove all and great comments about how to ... like mod podge the silk flower first {to stiffen I suspect} then paint, glue. The second photo of the large chunky black chain ... just this past weekend I purchased almost the same size very lightweight plastic "chain" from Lowes to hang an item ... the chain was about 50 cents a foot and came in **black**. I'm going back and grabbing some black and making a necklace! Thanks for the idea :) Robin
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. It's amazing how a little touch of gold makes black plastic look good.
DeleteHow will I ever sleep at night with all these new ideas rolling around in my head?
ReplyDeleteOr get anything done during the day other than DIY'ing.
DeleteGold cones you should just pick up at a bead store. Worth paying for when you can DIY the rest!
ReplyDeleteLook for something like this (in a smaller package!) http://www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/H201463FX
