Are you bored of your current wardrobe? Don’t have enough money to buy yourself a new one? You could always get creative! I’m sure you’ve got a ton of things in your wardrobe that you could customise to make look brand spanking new again. There are lots of ideas for you to try in this post, and if you get stuck, you should be able to find tutorials online to help you. Let’s get started:
Add Studs
If you want something to look a little more rock chick or grunge style, then you can always add studs to give it a tough edge. This can look great on almost anything, from jumpers to denim jackets. All you need to do is work out where you want to put them for the best effect. Make sure you plan first to avoid mistakes permanently.
Turn Old Jeans Into Cool Shorts
If you’re bored of your jeans, you could always turn them into a cool pair of shorts perfect for your summer fashion wardrobe. All you need to do is grab a sharp pair of scissors, and make sure you cut them evenly around where you want them to go. Remember, it’s always easier to cut more off later. You can’t add any material back on so easily! You can then add badges, studs, or dye to turn them into a work of art.
Iron and Pin on Badges
Iron and pin on badges help to give a personalised look to bags, jackets, shorts, and everything else inbetween. You can find iron badges of your favourite band, cartoon character, and more. You can even create your own on some online stores, so you can iron a name and number on to a garment if you like. You can literally create any look you want.
Make Baggy T-shirts Laid Back Tank Tops
Baggy t-shirts are no good for showing off shape. Instead of throwing these away or wearing them as night tops, turn them into laid back tank tops. Do this by snipping off the sleeves, then ripping down the hem with your hands to create wider holes. These are called ‘muscle tanks’, and can be very flattering. Don’t worry about the fact that it won’t look ‘perfect’, the messiness all adds to the effect!
Practice Tie Dye
Tie dye is fairly simple and a great way to make your clothes look brand new. All you need is fabric dye and some elastic bands! Perfect if you’re attending a rave or another fun party.
Rip Holes in Your Jeans
Ripping holes in your jeans is fairly simple, and there are loads of different effects you can create by watching tutorials online. Jeans with holes in are all the rage these days, so get in on the act.
Splash Denim With Bleach
Want to create a new effect on your denim items? Splash it with bleach! This can look great, and you’d spend a lot of money in a shop for something with this effect.
Try these tips and you’ll get a brand new wardrobe for almost nothing at all!
