Does anybody make any hair/jewellery accessories, either from scratch or add bits on to their clothes/handbags/shoes to enhance them…Gok Wan stylee?
My sister and I used to add bits to our shoes to pimp them up, things like clip on earrings on the peeptoe part and glue on diamantes onto staps. I once bought a diamante necklace and pulled it part and added it to my sandels to pimp them up.
Last week I made fascinators with my girls at school and it was so easy to do, I thought…‘hmmm I quite like doing this’
I mean, they are by no means ‘professional’ but with the right tools, materials and equipment i’m sure it’s easy peasy.
oh oh, so couple of years back i took my mums slightly chipped brooch and pinned it on to my headband. it looked vintage, i wore it with a grey dress. but i don't have a picture of it.
oh and my really beautiful black bag, that would fit eveyrthing in it...the zip came undone and i couldn't re-do it, so i found a purple zip and purple lining, sewed it on. it looked reallllly cool.
I have a blue ribbon that i'm planning on wearing on my head like a hair band =/ Does that count? I usually don't pimp stuff, I mean i've thought about it but the lack of a hot glue gun stops me =(
Oh yeah! I’ve seen some of those. I don’t like the really frivolous ones too much. They look ridonkulus. I like the ones with the pretty bows Omggggg! When I went hairband shopping, I’d see some hairbands and I was like…omg I can make them myself for cheaper! If only I had a glue gun
I’ll post some pictures in a bit, but I have all kinds of beads and shiny thingies for my kids and we make bracelets and headbands and stuff for their friends pretty often. The girls decorated my change purse for me and it looked adorable.
Innit though! You’d think they would have learnt something from us Brits whilst we were there looking after them!
Niksik, looking forward to seeing the pics!!
My girls loved loved making the hairband fascinators, they could have had a neater finish to them, but I didnt want to over complicate it as we only had an hour to make them before our Royal Wedding picnic. Plus i’m not allowed to let 5 year olds use a glue gun…urgh!
I think it's a neat activity, and then I have a friend who buys plain outfits for her girls and hand embroiders on them. She's made some stuff for my kids too. Will take pics and post. Unfortunately, I'm not much into sewing or embroidery.
