5. Sew the sheer fabric on top of each hole.

6. When you’re done sewing on the sheer fabric, cut off any access fabric with your scissors.

DIY Cloud Tights

INGREDIENTS

- Colored tights

- An array of pearlesque beads in different sizes

- Cream/white coloured string

- Thin needle (must be able to go through a bead)

- Household bleach

- Sponge

- Unused Toothbrush

- Rubber gloves

- Bathtub or sink

- Open window

DIRECTIONS
1. Take out the tights from the packaging.
2. Lay flat in tub, wet the tights then wring out the water.
3. Using rubber gloves, sponge or toothbrush start sprinkling bleach onto the tights, being careful you don’t sprinkle on your own clothes or body!
4. Use the toothbrush to make smaller spray dots.
5. Leave the tights for approx. 2 hours, checking frequently to check up on progress.
6. Once successfully bleached to a level you’re satisfied with, throw into washing machine (with other laundry while you’re at it!) and give it a quick spin + tumble.
7. When dry, put the tights on (I’d suggest wearing another pair of sock under and over the tights to prevent it from getting dirty). Using needle and thread, sew into tights, pull out a length necessary for that section and do a double knot.
8. Start threading in beads of different sizes, alternating directions while sewing them in.
*TIP: try not to thread too many beads at one go, they may get quite heavy and snap off.
9. Be creative about the beads, add a bit of coloured beads here and there if you wish, and try organic shapes or even geometric. Repeat for other leg. (Or not).

2. Repeat this step on the other leg, being sure to align the two pieces of tape on each leg.
3. Squeeze a small amount of the craft paint into the small tray.
4. Don’t be conservative! Paint generous amounts of paint on to you paints. Be sure to get right up on the masking tape, ensuring the line separating the paint from the original pant is sleek and straight.
5. Once the outside has been painted, allow the paints to dry overnight.
6. When they are dry, turn them inside out and repeat the above steps to the inside of the pants. Allow to dry overnight.

DIY Valentino Sweater

INGREDIENTS

-American Apparel's Fisherman Sweater ($78)

-1-2 yards of Wide French Lace ($25/yard)

-Paper and Pen (to make pattern)

-Chalk (to outline pattern if desired)

-Pins

-Dritz Home Unique Stitch Fabric Glue ($4)

-3-inch Foam Brush ($.50)

-Scissors

DIRECTIONS

Before you begin, make sure to clear a large surface so that you can lay your sweater down flat on your workspace.
1. Draw and cut out a circular pattern, which will be used to block out the center area of the sweater. The pattern should be placed approximately 2-3 inches below the neckline and approximately 5 inches from the bottom of the sweater. (Please note: the shape doesn't have to be a perfect circle, and the size will be determined by the size of the size of the sweater's center).
2. Cover the surface of your sweater (minus the sleeves) with the lace then pin the pattern you create on top of the lace.
3. Cut the lace around the pattern. Once completed, remove the pattern and excess pieces so that the lace only remains on the outside edges of your sweater.
4. With the foam brush, apply a thin layer of fabric glue on the sweater, wherever you want the lace to adhere. Pat the lace down on the sweater and wait approximately 30 minutes or until completely dry.
5. Trim any excess lace that is hanging off of the edges of your sweater for a clean look.
