To celebrate Dublin Fashion Festival
and promote ‘DIYing’ & recyclable fashion I created a very simple DIY based
on a rather unusual element... plastic lid!
Who said your take-away coffee lids
can’t be useful!? Insomnia provided me with some materials, magazines and
internet with inspiration... check out the results below.
Step 1:
All you need is: couple of lids, a
pretty thread / ribbon / rope – anything that you feel is suitable as a
necklace carrier (mine was from Rubanesque).
Step 2:
Cut the lids into tear / leaf shapes.
Play around a little, the more interesting the better! Make sure you mix them
up and have both flat and arched types – the second ones will help you create
some volume.
Step 3:
Every piece needs a hole so get going
with that puncher!
Step 4:
Threading is not everyone’s cup of tea
but hey, after so many cups of coffee... you can do it ;)
Step 5:
Result! Congratulations, you just got
yourself a pretty unusual, pretty cool and super cheap neckpiece!
