If you know me, you'd know that Kim Kardashian is one of my favorite fashionistas! I recreated her outfit except her Louboutins alone cost more than my whole outfit combined (I don't blame her, they're gorg).

DIY: Peek-a-Boo Studded Jeans

What you will need: 

1. Jeans (that are already distressed or you can DIY distress them  yourself!)

2. Denim iron-on patches (or denim patches)

3. Studs (or any embellishments you'd like)

4. Iron

5. Needle and thread

6. Scissors

1. Measure or guess-timate the size of the rips in your jeans
2. Cut the denim patches accordingly in pairs of 2, adding about 1/2" on each side of the patch

3. Begin studding one of the two pieces, 1/2" away from the edge
4. If your studs have two closures, alternate them horizontally and vertically to avoid spaces

5. Iron the second piece of the patch, coated side to coated side
6. Press the whole piece down, and NOTE: do not touch the studs after this step, they're hot. (wahh:[)

7. Cut any excess fabric off the edges of the patch
8. Flip your jeans inside out, align the patch with your rip, and sew along the edges of the patch using a needle and thread (blue?)

In this DIY, I only did two of the tears as shown above. Get creative and stud the pockets, sides, or even back pockets of your jeans!


& VOILA!
Hope you enjoyed this DIY and stay tuned for more :)

DIY: Spiked Loafers!

ignore the little booboo on my ankle:(

After purchasing these black Steve Madden loafers and wearing them for a while, they got pretty boring and were beginning to lose their "crisp" look. So I decided to spike the heel area using spikes (50 mm) I got from Etsy, and 'shoe glue' (a random adhesive I found at home for - I guess - glueing shoes together :s).

They're a beaut & it took me 10 minutes!

Stay creative,

ps: I will be having many more DIY projects soon!

4. Needle & Black thread

 step one

Using the needle and thread, sew the ends of the sequins
band into a circle
(Inside of stitching shown in the image above)

step two

Sew the middle of the sequins band by first
rolling the two sides over each other

back

Sew the small strip of fabric in a loop over the middle of
the bow to cover any imperfections
