DIY Rocker-Chic Coats

This Homemade Spiked Trench Coat is Updated from the Burberry Favorite

— October 15, 2012 — Fashion
The Do It Yourself era has exploded onto the forefront of fashion and designer goods have never been so easy to duplicate with blogger tutorials, and the spiked trench coat with bow gives Burberry a run for its money. Even though the spiked trench coat popped onto the scene last spring, it continues to be a coveted item and one of the most searched Burberry coats on the Internet.

All you need is a cheap trench coat, a combination of different length spikes and a sewing machine. Spikes can be bought at a local craft store or online. Place dots on the sleeves of the jacket where you would like the spikes to appear. Poke holes with a pair of scissors and place the spikes through the holes.
