DIY inspiration: 2 colors blouse


Two blouses to make one. It's a different look very easy to obtain. Take two blouses in different colors and cut the back in half. Sew together the back again after mixing the colors.


Il mix di due camicette di due colori diversi. Semplicissima da realizzare basta tagliarle a metà al centro dietro e rifare la cucitura dopo aver mischiato le metà!

DIY inspiration: recycle


The thing that i like about this jacket from Gestuz is that it looks like it has been put together with three different jackets. We all know that some parts of a cloth tend to get ruined more than others so when cuffs and collars or elbows look worn we throw the cloth away.
These are the days of fast fashion,cheap cloths we buy and then toss,we don't repair cloths anymore. But repair doesn't mean "put a patch on it",with some creativity we can sew or decorate a all new cloth like this jacket,something special we can't buy in a shop.
So next time your favorite piece of cloth (like my leather jacket) gets ruined,instead of tossing it,get creative and upgrade it!

What to do with a broken keyboard?Make some jewelry with it!
Is it possible?Never fear to try.
What i've tried is to make a pretty necklace,the fun thing is that you can write a message with it
Today message? I'm out of control
How is it made? Follow me



take a broken keyboard

Gently pull off the selected keys
With a finger press a key and insert a pencil under the one nearby and pull



This is how the key looks like upside down


With a paper trimmer cut the part that comes off the key

repeat for all the chosen keys


Now fill your keys with silicon you can find it in every hardware stores




Let it dry

Now take a colored plastic cover or a plastic sheet


and glue wour keys onto that with a superglue


Decor the borders cutting them as you like
Make two holes at the border of the necklace so you can add a chain to it
and you've done!


Now you have your broken keyboard necklace! Enjoy!
