My Top 5 DIY Fashion and Beauty Projects

These are my top 5 DIY fashion and beauty projects. Enjoy!
  1. Making your own earrings-You can buy all the materials at a craft store, it is not very expensive, it is easy to do, and it is a lot of fun.
  2. Embroidering something old-All you need is a needle, thread, and an idea to make something old and shabby into something vintage and chic.
  3. Make your own perfume-This is one of the most exciting DIY activities I have ever done. You need some extracts or herbs and some idea of what you are going to try to make it work. I would recommend getting some rose water extract-it smells really good.
  4. Sew your own bag-Bags are an easy sewing project, especially if you have a sewing machine. You can pick any fabric or fabrics, cut them out to the shape and size you want, and sew. This is a project that you can do using instructions from a book, article, etc. or without much guidance at all.
  5. Make your own scarf-This is a really cool activity because you can do so much with it. You can sew your scarf, bedazzle your scarf, embroider your scarf, felt your scarf, draw on your scarf, etc. ANYTHING! It's your scarf, after all.
