DIY TASSLE EARRINGS

Trend alert – consider elevating your wardrobe with tassel assessories this season – tassel earrings paired with a simple white tee or a bare neck, the ruffled and long strands can create a good look. I love the way this element brings movement to a look. There are obvious tonnes of designs of tassel earrings you can cop for yourself.

I decided to make tassel earrings from the most available and useful material, yarn. It took me about 10minutes from start to finish.
Tip: If you really want to show your tassel earrings, style you hair in bun.

What you’ll need:
*yarn
*earrings hook
*a pair of scissors
* flat platform

1. Roll the yarn around the flat platform (say 40 times).

2. Remove the yarn from the platform.

3. Take another piece of yarn and double it.

4. Put the doubled ice of yarn through the main yarn.

5. Take the cut end of the doubled piece of yarn and pass it through the other round end – as seen below – to form a knot.

6. Cut to form the bottom of the tassel.

7. To form the knot of the tassel, take one string and wrap 2cm from the top.

8. Pass the hook height the second string and wrap round the knot of the tassel.

Voila!!!

Would you cop this trend?

Do you think this look can be cool or does it seem too retro for your taste?

DIY basic T-shirt to embroidered rose T- shirt

Happy Monday lovelies. How was your weekend? I hope everyone had a good weekend. Make the most of this new week!

Today I’m bringing you a post that will totally update your wardrobe…

DIY basic T-shirts to embroidered rose T- shirt

Embroidered patches has taken the world by storm; from Dolce & Gabana – embroidery being their signature detail to the latest Gucci trend and I am more than obsessed!
Patches are fun way to stand out and add a frisky, unique twist to your outfits.
Literally no one likes to wear what everyone else wears, patches can be customized to match your outfits which can elucidate vibrancy in your personality.
In today’s post I’m using an embroidered rose applique to create my own unique ensemble of art.

What you’ll need:

* plain white shirt
* embroidered rose applique – I got mine here.
* an iron
* a cardboard

How to:

1. Place the cardboard between the shirt.

2. Arrange the embroidered rose applique on the right side of the shirt.

3. Heat up your pressing iron and place on the applique. Starting from one end to the other.

4. Leave the iron for 2 minutes but do not burn your applique.

VOILA!!!

What are you thoughts on this? Indulge in the trend, create something!

PS: I will be showing how I made the tassel earrings in the next post.

Thanks for reading.

Ankara Christmas: DIY Ankara Bralet

Merry Christmas Boos! ❤🎄Hope you are enjoying the holiday, spending time with your loved ones?! This Christmas is all about my ankara bralet. There was a lot of trial and error, particularly getting the cup shape just so, but I think it worked out ok!

You’ll need:

Ankara fabric
Pins
Zipper
Scissors
Thread
Sewing machine
Template

First, you cut the pattern for the cups. I played around with the fabric to get my size. Cut two set of triangles with curved sides to get the cup for the left and right side.

Cut out two rectangles for the band. Measure around your underbust to get this measurement.

Sew the curved edges of the triangles together.

Sew the wrong side two rectangles together. Turn outward to form a nice band.

To secure the back I attached an exposed the zipper to the ends of the rectangle.

Pin the left and right cup on the band. Make sure it in place.

Make two straps and attach it to the tip of the cups and at the back on the band.

Pin and then sew the cups to the top edges of the base fabric.

It should (hopefully) look like this!

As with any cropped piece like this that shows a lot of skin, I paired it with a skater skirt to play down look so it’s not so in your face. I wore this to a Christmas soirée with friends. Although, before you ask, clearly not the sort of thing you would wear to a family gathering …

Happy DIYing!
