Want that new Fendi jacket that costs £1000 on that rack that looks so great on you? How about that super cute Dior dress that costs more than your rent payment. Face it, we all love fashion but half the time we can’t even afford it. There are many simple and easy ways to get the look you’re going for. There’s no need to spend £5000 to make yourself look good when all you have to do is buy a couple of objects and make them yourself! With a couple ideas, you can turn your dreary outfit into something glamorous at half the cost!

Need a belt for that dress? Or maybe to hold up your favourite pair of jeans, and don’t feel like spending a whole lot of money. With a little bit of rope that’s twice your waist size, two jump rings, gold barrel end caps and clasps a little bit of glue and some pliers and scissors you have yourself one amazing belt. You’re getting a belt, with gold accent and the style of the rope in a simple dress. Match it up with the highest end of belts; you’re getting the same exact look for literally half the price! Now that is what we call a saving!

Want a nice sleek look of rhinestones but don’t want to go and spend all that money? All you need are safety pins to turn this high fashion look into half the cost. By creating a chain of safety pins, you can safety pin your rhinestones onto the pins. You have the choice to make the necklace as lengthy as you want or as short as you want and you can choose whatever colour rhinestones you want to brighten up your outfit? You could even use the same safety pin necklace to create at least ten different necklaces. With this quick and easy project you have yourself a rhinestone necklace without having to pay a fortune on it. So now you have a belt and necklace to wear with your next pair of jeans!

This next idea we have is an infinity bracelet but many of us never want to spend the money on it. With a piece of embroidery thread, and endless amount of infinity charms and a colour bead of your choice, you have yourself one amazing looking infinity bracelet. Knowing that they are so easy to make, you can make one or ten and they can easily be all different colours to match every colour that’s in your wardrobe

Overall the lesson is, you don’t need to spend thousands and thousands of pounds on high-end fashion. With a little bit of patience and a lot of arts and crafts, you can create your own types of high end fashion that can make jaws drop and heads turn! Take out the arts and crafts box, its ready to make some accessories!
