Since the weather got warmer, it is time for a DIY. Inspired
by the most important musical event, this fringed top will bring Coachella to
you every day. The truth is, I saw a dress like that in a very famous brand’s
site, but the price was way too expensive, so I DIYed it.
What you need:
- ·
A dress
which length’s bellow the knee at least.
TIP: Make sure
the dress is 100% cotton. Only cotton clothes are appropriate for cut.
TIP: Industrial
scissors work better, but at this project where the fabric is not that thick, a
regular pair of scissors will be fine.
TIP: The ruler is
optional here, but if you are a beginner or you don’t have a stable hand, it
will help you with the guiding lines.
TIP: Use chalk
instead of a pen or a pencil. Chalk is more soft and easy removable from any
fabric.
Start by wearing the dress and mark to each of the sides with the
chalk where you want your top to be cut. Mark a little lower in the beginning and then go higher.
Lay the dress on a flat surface and with the ruler draw a
straight line connecting the two sides you marked before.
First you want to cut the two sides of the dress.
After you are happy with the length go and cut in lines
vertically. The size of each stripe should be approximately 1,5 cm. They don't have to be perfect, just cut them and you can correct them in the end.
Cut the bottom of the dress, stretch the fringes, and you
are done!
Additional TIPS:
·
You should take you time while cutting the
stripes
·
Don’t worry if the stripes are not even, after
you stretch them the will all be the same.
·
Cut at the same time the back and the front of
the dress. You will save time and the stripes will be more even.
·
As soon as you finish, throw the dress in the
washing machine. This way the fringes will show much better.
Perfect for summer, this top will give you a grunge and
unique style.

1) Start by selecting which of your images you want to feature
your collage. I cut mine from a cosmetics magazine and I also printed a couple
of quotes.
Do you have that big amount of bracelets and you really
don’t know where to store them? Do you want to have a quick access to them? Do
you want a cute bracelet holder to decorate your room but you don’t want to
spend any money at all? Well, then this DIY is what you ‘re looking for. With
just some materials that every home has, you can create this bracelet and
earring holder.
