Amazing, Cocoly. I'll have to try it myself.

I wonder if any fabric would do. I have a fairly thick black shirt that would do nicely since it's faded and could use an "update."

Oh my cocoly - you are sooooo talented 0_o

I thinking about doing a kimono, well not actual kimono but more like kimono-robe, kimono inspired house-wear . Could anyone help? And sketch or something that i can find online ( i searched but i couldn't find anything enough good )

Mmm Yes. ! that looks great. I love the fabric you have chosen. I've been putting off making a skirt like it for yonks. But you just made me put doing so on top of my list. I'll look through my stash of fabric tomorrow to see if I have anything that would be nice for this..

^ Would be sooo cool to have a diy version of the mirror shoes!

I love the selfknitted rodarte inspired sweater and the shredded tshirt above!

A few days ago I searched throug my scrapbook and found some diy-inspo from an old vogueissue:

Decided to make my own! Bought an oversized, grey knit at h&m, and started to make.. To make.. What's it called in english? Those puffed balls in Norwegian we call it "dusker"!

Suddenly i was really unsecure if this looked like som weird artistic-homemade-mommy-thing or if it could be cute. I need some advice, cause i will not spend my time making pyffy balls ("dusker") to fill it up with if its an disaster. Watcha say?

I never DIY, myself ... so I cannot really tell. I'm no expert.
But I guess : break the mirror (as you would break some mosaic) and then stick them on your heels. I think a well done platform would make it easier.

Here the blogger DIYer reply to a comment on her blog :

Thanks! I found an enormous bag of mirror scraps on ebay for next to nothing (1 lb? or was it 1 1/2 lb? for $6!) Amazing the things you can buy online. Anyway, I cut the shards with a glass cutter, crushed some, snapped others, just to make them as irregular as possible. It wasn't very difficult to cut the pieces, although it did get ugly at one point, when I got frustrated and started snapping them with my bare hands, haha...

Nay, Christina! Even the photo of the magazine, I wouldn't wear it. The sweater itself is cute.

Cocoly: where did you get the headband?

Here is my latest DIY. It took forever because each bead is hand sewn! I was looking to replicate these McQueen boots. I will eventually do this again with my black boots, once my carpal tunnel goes away!

I'm loving these ideas, cery inspiring.
I love those shoes, must have taken ages!
I think I'll have to try the Burberry skirt as I've been eyeing that up on Net-a-porter for some time.

brilliant thread I need to try the burberry skirt

 

[karatekid]

I have made one! I posted it in the 'sewing' thread, but I can post it here too.

I can't believe I posted my Mcqueen DIY right before the announcement of his death. This has become a tribute to him in more ways than one.

I'm usually not a huge DIY person since I'm so damn lazy, but I am loving this thread. Recently made my own slave bracelet, originally inspired by the Clover web bracelet:

Here's mine, when I first made it:

Then I made it simpler, and oxidized it a little:

Then made it even darker:

Sorry for such crappy photos, the last ones are from my webcam. I like to think it looks better in person.
