Have any old sweaters that are just taking up drawer space? This cardigan was a little too plain for me, the style isn't anything special so I decided it was time for it to go...NO wait!...it was time for me to get creative and turn it into a trending look. Glam it up!
I've been waiting to do a patterned piece with sequins for a while. So glad I chose this. It's such an easy DIY with fabulous results!

You'll need:
Sequin Ribbon (as seen above)
Felt circles (you can buy them precut or cut your own circles)
Fabric Glue

Simply glue the sequin strand down while winding it around the felt circle. I starting from the center, made sure the sequins slightly overlapped so it covered the entire felt.
Once you have as many sequin dots as you'd like, you can start figuring placement on your sweater. I played a bit with this, trying to get the dots a good spacing from one another. Then either glue them down with the fabric glue or sew them on. I decided to glue mine.
I love the results! So glam!

Original, outdated boots...ready for an update!

adding belts for detail...buckles are a fun element to add

There's nothing better than taking something you already have (something you are contemplating tossing to the trash) and giving it new life. These were boots I bought back in 2006 while in NY.  Being a bit out of date now, they haven't been worn in years. 

Last year I stumbled upon Luxury Jones boots (peep this awesome: 1 // 2 // 3 )...drooling ever since! I've had my mind set on searching for the perfect vintage boot to experiment with and make a similar look. Little did I know, I had a great pair to use already in my closet!

I was about to throw them out... (trying to make room for these amazing new gold boots from Zara) I luckily got curious to what the inside leather color looked like and what they would look like folded over. Hello beautiful chestnut leather! Folded over, they made the most perfect new and stylish ankle boot. I grabbed some old belts out of my closet and started experimenting to add some detail. I ended up just running to target to pick up some new belts which perfectly wrapped around 3 times. 

Talk about from trash to treasure, these are now one of my fav boots again!

Beautiful mid century chairs about to be trashed, found a home with me. They just needed a lil love…aka paint! I used Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric paint for the cushions and Krylon Premium Metallic - Chrome for the frame.
