These DIY Tights from The Rookie are Delightfully Adorable

Hailing from the teenage girl blog The Rookie, these DIY tights are super fun and feminine.

Like a hyper-cool underground version of Teen Vogue, online publication Rookie gears teenage girls towards great styles. Daily posts are divided into after-school, dinner time and sweet dreams to best suit the schedule of most teenage girls. Glittery and retro, these tights are a sweet way to make a daring fashion statement. While maybe not so versatile, they’re super easy to create. All it takes is some healthy determination, some Elmer’s glue and an endless supply of plastic rhinestones.

Adorable, endearing and painfully hip, The Rookie knows how to take something simple and turn it into a work of art.
