DIY FEATURE: Spike Leggings

I just wanted to share a DIY made by cousin, spike leggings. I would describe her style as rocker-chic since she is always wearing black, spikes and boots. This is a simple and quick way to revamp your old black leggings. All you need are spikes, black leggings, needle and thread.    

My cousin used a silver spike bracelet (plastic), cut it apart and sewn it onto the sides of the leggings. Spikes made out of plastic are advised since leggings are light-weight materials.

Here is an up-close photo.

I have actually seen these leggings being sold at stores and it would be a way cheaper alternative to create your own! I have also seen leggings with spikes on the knees, which seems dangerous to me. Imagine tripping and falling to your knees while wearing it :O but if its made of plastic,  I am guessing it would not hurt :P

5 minute DIYS with Fabric Tapes

Many people assume that diys are time consuming but it does not necessarily have to. Bigger projects that need more work done are obviously more time consuming but for simple ones it can be done under 5 minutes. Here are two projects I made in less than 5 minutes using fabric tapes and scissors. 

I used the fabric tapes for two projects, one as borders for my cork board and the second to decorate file clips. Simply measure the sides, cut and stick on the borders. I replaced the string on top with leftover ribbons in polka dots print.

I got the idea for the file clips from the Ashley's blog, but she used textile and mod podge for her diy. The outcome is the same except for the fabric tapes, there are ridges in between for larger file clips. For the red polka dots, I wrapped the tapes around the top curves of the clip to make it look complete.
