Wednesday: DIY Accessories!

Hey there, Fashionista's! I love DIY projects and to re-invent older items I have into fabulous new pieces. One fun item is a button bracelet. If you have some extra buttons that don't have a use and want to make a fab bracelet, just take a few minutes to make one. All you will need is about 20 buttons of various sizes, a elastic bracelet cord, fabric glue and scissors.

Do you have an old pair of jeans in your closet that you don't wear? Of course, all of us Fashionista's do. You can use the back pockets to make a cute little pocket purse or clutch. All you need is an old pair of jeans, ribbon, a seam ripper, a needle, thread and scissors. Most items you probably can find at home. You can make this little purse in 4 easy steps that take about 30 minutes. Check out further instructions for the denim pocket purse.

1. Remove back pockets from jeans with seam ripper (work with pants inside out)
2. Place pockets on top of each other with the godd side facing out and pin
3. After, cut a piece of ribbon for the handle, tuck it inside the pockets and pin
4. Sew around the outside edge of the pocket and your little purse is complete.
