40 DIY Embellishment Projects

From DIY Chain-Accented Shades to Bejeweled Jean Collars

— July 31, 2013 — Art & Design
There's no better time to start cleaning out your closet to make room for new seasonal attire, but if you're looking to make use out of your old and outdated clothes, then these DIY embellishment projects are offering some great tips on how to revamp items with some glittery accessories.

While purchasing a new purse or pair of jeans from the mall is definitely one way to add items to your wardrobe, these DIY projects are a more cost-effective alternative that allows individuals to customize designs to their taste. By simply adding embellishments such as glitter, studs, buttons or crocheted patterns, you can easily transform an outdated piece of clothing into a brand new design.

From DIY bedazzled beanies to crafty embellished jumpers, these DIY projects will definitely keep fashionistas busy adding their own personal touches on these pieces of apparel.
