DIY - Tights/leggings/jeggings refashion

Merry Christmas :)

Hope yall had a wonderful Christmas!!

Today I'm bringing my lovely readers a refashion/upcycling project and It's going to be a really straight forward project ^^

Well, enough babbling, lets get started shall we?

You'll Need:

- Old pair of tights,leggings or jeggings!
- Scrap piece of fabric
- Need and threat or fabric glue
- pair of scissors 


I found an old pair of tights that had a ugly hole in the knee area.. I loved the color so, I thought it would be awesome for this project..



- Lay the tights inside out. Mark about 4'' lines starting from up-top wherever you want! 
like this,


- Cut slits along the line.. Make sure it doesn't go through the other side of the tights. We want just one layer of slits! 

- Take your scrap piece of fabric and cut off about 2.5'' x 1'' strips.



- Take a strip between two strips and fold the strip and sew or use fabric glue to make a bow shape!  


- You should end up with something like this after all of your bows are made :)


There you go :) easy peasy right? now you have cute bow tights to rock on with your booties or heels!

Adding Sparkles - French Tip

When we first landed to Sri Lanka for this years summer vacation my sister fell off and she damaged her booties.. I mean her shoes..booties.. the toe scraped off and it was ugly to see. So she asked me to do something for it and here is what I did :)


Things You'll need...




1.Tape to keep the glitter out of the area you don't want to be glittered. 


2. Mix Mod podge with glitter. I just like to see glitter when they float :D 
With this mixture you can seriously bling anything! 


3. Apply 2-3 coats....I applied some above the heel too since I felt it looked a bit empty 


4. Let it dry and for better durability and to be water proof apply 1-2 coats of clear nail polish over it 


And this is the finish :) Glittered French tip...
