DIY Laser cut clutch bag. Step by step

I've been looking for a laser cut clutch for a while now and I just can't find one. well...not one I can afford. so I decided to make my own. Here is a step by step post on how I made it. It needs a lot of patience to make but it looks awesome when done.

You need,some fabric (a hard one preferably. I used neoprene with black on one side and grey on the other. 2 for 1! yaay), a pair of scissors, a blade, a maker pen, measuring tape and/or ruler, a zip and some pins.

First, draw some patterns onto your fabric with the marker pen. It can be any pattern you like. I did geometric shapes.

Once you've filled the whole piece with the patterns, start cutting using the blade or scissors.

When that's done, its time to inserts the zip. Sew one side of the zip to the short piece of fabric and the other side to the longer piece. Once this is done, zip the zip together and cut off any excess.

Unzip the zip and sew the edges of the plain bits of fabric together (remember to sew them inside out because you gotta turn them out) then turn right side.

 

Hope that was helpful

I'm a lady!

I bought this awesome sequined skirt from Karen Millen a while ago and have never worn it. I was gonna initially gonna make it shorter because I've never been into long skirts but I saw it today while looking for something to wear out for dinner.I dunno whats gotten into me lately, I feel all grown up, I've been wearing heels lower then 5 inches, trousers and now I'm wearing a knee length skirt! I paired it a neon green peplum top, a gold skinny belt and my current fave heels. I honestly never thought I would dress like this but I'm liking this new mature-ish side of me. Its a fashion evolution people!

 

Top - Primark (customised)

Skirt - Karen Millen

Belt - Gucci

Heels - All Saints Spitalfields

Watch - Michael Kors

DIY Paint drip nails

I first saw these nails paint drip nails on tumblr and fell in love with them. There are quite a few ways of doing them but this is how i did mine. You'll need two different colours of nail varnish (I used Chanel nail colour in black satin and 2 true colour quick nail polish in shade 11) and a thinner nail varnish brush.

                                        First,paint your nails using your base colour

 

Using the thinner brush,carefully draw curved lines of different lengths along each nail 

 

You can make the lines thicker if you want and go over them to make the edges nice and neat

 

 

Then using your second nail polish,simply fill in the tips of the nail to the lines

 

You can add a few dots to really give it that dripping effect
