D.I.Y. FASHION MAKEOVER | DENIM JEAN DRESS TO TOP

This dress is very ugly. I found it at a second-hand store for a buck. Looking at it closely though, there are a few possibilities. Chop off the skirt and sleeves and you have a denim vest. Or a few changes and you have a denim top that is totally in trend right now! I decided to go for the latter idea, which turned out to be very fun! I'm thinking of bleaching it sometime so it's a lighter denim, but anyways here we go...

FROM TACKY, TO TRENDY!

Directions: I cut off the skirt to the length I desired, making the cut slightly curved on the sides. I rolled the hem under twice, pinning as I went. After finding some gold thread that matched the other threading, I sewed a straight stitch until I had sewn the whole hemline. You can repeat another line so it is double stitched. Very easy project, with huge results!

D.I.Y. PAINTED SHOES MAKEOVER

Whether you have a pair of sneakers that have been worn down on the outside, a color that is so not cute, or if you are bored with your shoe collection, then this d.i.y. project will be perfect for you to try! I am in love with the color mint right now, so I decided to makeover a pair of yellow shoes that I never wear.

You'll need any pair of shoes you want to use

Fabric paint is inexpensive and easy to find in your local craft store. You'll also need a medium size paintbrush. The color mint is easy to mix using the colors above. Remove shoelaces and paint at your lea sure. Let dry completely. I can't wait to do this again with another color!
