77 Examples of DIY Fashion

From Fierce Frugal Apparel to Personalized Neon Accessories

— May 23, 2012 — Fashion
In hard economic times, many are faced with having to cut back on spending; these DIY Fashionable Attire trends will give you some tips on how to revamp your wardrobe. Often times, many people have unworn garments sitting in the closet that never see the light of day; instead of throwing them out, they can be re-purposed into a brand new outfit.

If you are one of those people who doesn’t like to show up to the party wearing the same outfit as someone else, then creating your own apparel is sure to set you apart from the crowd. With the growing obsession of sites like Pinterest and Etsy, many are seeking out do-it-yourself projects. These platforms open up opportunities for entrepreneurs to create affordable products that can be sold without having to go through a huge retailer.
