Want to revamp your old gloves for less than $5? Guest blogger Tatiana Fogt of Fashion Forward gives ya the how-to below.
It’s hard to look cute and show off
your personal style when bundling up to go outside during winter.
Gloves are definitely a must, and lucky for you, we’ve got a DIY
guide that will bring yours from blah to bling in a few easy steps.
There are three styles to choose from, so make a DIY date with your
besties and give some love to your gloves!
Style 1: Edgy
You will need:
Plain gloves
Silver and gold chains and studs/brads
Needle and thread that matches the
gloves
1. Start by pushing the brads one by one
through the base of the glove (lining them up so they start to look
like a bracelet), and make sure to leave space on the bottom for the
dangling chains.
2. Sew each end of the chains to the bottom of the
glove, allowing the middle of the chain to dangle. Experiment with
different colors and chain sizes to make your gloves even more
unique!
Style 2: Vintage
You will need:
Plain gloves
Two matching charms or buttons
Ribbon
Matches
Needle and thread that matches the
ribbon
1. Using the ribbon, tie two bows and cut
off from the roll so that the ends are even.
2. To keep the edges of the
ribbon from fraying, have an adult lightly bring a lit match over the
edges (you don’t have to follow this step, but it will make your
bows look better).
3. After that, secure the bow to the base of the
glove by sewing the middle knot to the glove. Finally, sew the charms
to the top of the bow knot for a chic pair of vintage-inspired
gloves.
Style 3: Girly
You will need:
Plain gloves
Rhinestone brads/Studs
Crochet flowers (from a craft store)
Needle and thread that matches the
gloves
1. Place the flowers where you would like
them to be on the gloves and secure by pushing a brad through the
center. Layer them as necessary.
2. Push rhinestone brads through the
center of the flowers to secure them to the gloves. If the flowers
are still loose, use the needle and thread to sew them onto the
gloves, and you’re done! Rock these gloves to remind yourself that
spring is just around the corner.
