Fashion DIY ideas starring the american flag


Today for the 4th of July anniversary we can craft something inspired by the american flag! I have to admit that both the american flag and the UK one are very fashionable,it will be too difficult to think dresses and accessories based on the italian flag: who thought that bright green and red could go along together? It's so obivious that our flag wasn't designed by a woman or a gay man,now i understand why men always choose blue and hardly move from that!
What diy projects we can do with the american flag? here's some ideas:

 some pieces of the flag cut and sewn over a pair of trousers

 

 the flag painted over a piece of cloth with fabric colors (available even as drawing pen)

 flag nails

Sewing lovers who may want to craft more difficult projects can use the flag as a fabric to craft tote bags or even shirts and blouses.





these last two pics are from tthe 2010 Zanotti collection "American flag",aren't these shoes amazing? I really want to try to diy them.

DIY ideas for Gucci tassel belt

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ft-n08M2lmA/TS9t6UZRKUI/AAAAAAAAASg/S5UwcDzN1uM/s1600/Gucci.jpg


Gucci tassel belt is one of the most sought after accessory of the season.
To copy the look you can just knot a curtain rope with tassels over a waist belt but if you're feeling crafty and want to own a belt like this one follow me.
This belt doesn't have any buckle and it's fastened with a rope that goes through loops and it's knotted on the front.
If we start with a regular belt we have to add loops to it.
Here's a couple of ways to make them starting from the easier.

now we have to make a tassel with a piece of leather
you just have to take a rectangular piece of leather or suede and slice it almost till the top and then fold it and glue it around the rope end.

These are some ideas on how to make this belt.
I'll make a step by step tutorial in the next few days, i just have to find a nice gold belt! :)

Like a walking museum: wear paintings!


This is so good and different! This girl wears a silk skirt with a painting printed on it!
And guess what? It can easily copied looking at yesterday post on knotting scarves.
I'll tell you how. As we said scarves come in a variety of patterns and i've seen many times paintings printed on them (usually you can find these types of scarves in museum souvenirs shops).
So first thing buy these scaves with a famous painting of your choice,then an Hermes card comes handy:

and the skirt is done.Want to do something more refined?Then use scarves as they were fabric!
Super easy too:just put the 2 scarves one onto the other and sew them at the sides obtaining a tube (pay attention at the width of the tube, your hips have to fit in it!) now add an elastic at the waist and the skirt is done!
A skirt like this will be very unique,definitely you'll get the head turn effect!

Com'è originale questo look! Nella foto la ragazza indossa una gonna di seta con un quadro stampato.La cosa più interessante è che possiamo copiare il suo look rileggendo i suggerimenti del post di ieri.
Come abbiamo già detto i foulard vengono stampati con molte fantasie, tra queste anche i quadri famosi! Foulard del genere sono facili da trovare nei negozi di souvenir dei musei.
Ed è qui che i consigli di Hermes ci vengono in aiuto:comprate un paio di questi foulard con il quadro che vi piace,guardate la figurina di Hermes dove un foulard viene legato dietro la schiena e uno davanti e la gonna è fatta!
Se volete un risultato più rifinito potete sempre utilizzare i foulard al posto della stoffa!
Mettetene uno sopra l'altro e cucite lateralmente i bordi ottenendo un tubo (fate attenzione che sia abbastanza largo per farci passare i fianchi) poi aggiungete un elastico in vita ed il gioco è fatto!
Otterrete una gonna unica che sicuramente vi renderà oggetto dell'attenzione dei passanti!

Hermes scarves are beautiful but very expensive. The maison started to produce these cards to show customers why their foulards are worth a buy:because they can be easily turned in a variety of clothes.
This spring is all about prints so scarves with their bold colors and patterns can make a fantastic top or accessory.
Try these easy folding and knotting tecniques and make your own top!
Now click here if you want to know how to make a bag out of a scarf.



I foulard di Hermes sono bellissimi ma decisamente costosi. Forse per convincere i potenziali consumatori all'acquisto Hermes ha cominciato a stampare questi cartoncini che mostano come con poche semplici mosse si possono ottenere top o accessori a partire dai loro famosi foulard.
Questa primavera le stampe colorate sono un must quindi i foulard, disponibili nelle fantasie più sgargianti, sono un ottimo modo di ottenere un top alla moda!
Provate anche voi!
