I'm constantly thinking of ways to recycle and upcycle clothes so when the bestie was about to throw these pair of jeans away, the wheels started turning and here we are.




I've never really been a fan of tube tops (not as comfy as a baggy t-shirt) but I've found I'm partial to this denim one.







The procedure is sooooo ridiculously simple. All you literally need to do is cut off the legs of the trousers slightly above the crotch.

That's it.

Enjoy your new tube top and share this tutorial to all your friends (pretty please? Hit the share buttons down below!)

What is the simplest DIY you've undertaken so far?

PS: I'll be doing a how-to on stop motion in mid-October so stay tuned.

I was quite tempted to replace the "cute" with "quirky" but I wasn't sure the projects were quirky enough.



-Paper
-Scissors
-Plant
-Thread
-Pen
-Tape
-Bottle

Let's get to it:

1. Wine bottle as a vase

I particularly like how this turned out with a palm frond but any green plant works too. Get an old wine bottle, peel off the label and that's it.

My titles amuse even me these days.

I recently went thrifting and was on the hunt for something to transform and I stumbled on this bag that I actually thought was black.

If you don't know what any of this is about, I implore you, type "deconstructed shirt trend" into any search engine of your choice and get properly educated.

I'm actually really loving this trend and I feel the more subtle styles might sneak into our wardrobes and become staples just like the skinny jeans (my favourite reference).

You will need:


Lay your shirt on a flat surface. Making sure it's properly aligned, cut one arm off. That is, the arm you want the asymmetrical style to be.

Step 2


This is where the needle and thread come in. Make a dart.That is, taking out an amount of fabric as illustrated above, sew a line on the inner part of the shirt (the wrong side).

Step 4

Quirky items are interesting items.

Quirky bags really trended for a while and as always, I'm a bit late on getting on the train.

There's this satisfaction in answering "Oh I made this" when asked "Where did you get that?" so I chose to make a quirky purse.


This DIY is so simple, my dog could do it with his eyes closed. I'm not kidding. Here's how to make a quirky clutch purse.

You will need:

-A bag or your preferred fashion item.
-Glue.
-Add-ons.

Method:

I decided on making a face. To do this, you'll need eyes, a nose and a mouth. My purse already had something that could function as a mouth so I skipped that part.

For the eyes, get something with a flat surface that could function as eyes. I used a pair of old earrings. You could also use fabric:
-Cut two black circles
-Cut two slightly smaller white circles
-Cut two very small black circles.

Layer these circles from the biggest to the smallest and glue them on respectively.

For the nose, you could use anything small. I didn't have a button small enough and didn't want to use fabric so I curled a cord and glued that on.

Transformation DIYs are always fun to undertake and using a t-shirt is always a good idea. I realized that other than this tutorial, where I turned a basic t-shirt to a cut-out crop top, I have done any T-shirt DIY.
