46 Fabulous DIY Accessories

From Zipper-Laden Handbags to Studio 54-Inspired Headgear

— December 5, 2012 — Fashion
With the abundance of blogs and how-to videos available, fabulous DIY accessories are a dime a dozen.

You can now be resourceful and make your own everything from purses to headbands. Why pay top dollars for an accessory made in China when you can make an original design from home? You can recycle old materials and customize each piece to your personal style. In addition, you can start making gifts for friends and family, instead of shelling out tons of money, especially around the holiday season. There are simple creations like tablet holders and clutches that can be fitted in record time. One great feature of DIY projects is that you can take something old and reinvent it. For instance take a vintage purse and spray paint it to give it a fresh new look.

Fabulous DIY accessories are a fun way to kill time and an inventive way to save money.
