Art Attack?
Still into Arts and Crafts? Well, heres a Fab activity thats not only fun but totally wearable!
While doing some spring cleaning, its customary that I go through my closet to compile the clothing that I haven't worn in over a year, which is then handed over to girlfriends to fight over. However, this year the pile is rather small. Why? Because as trends develop, so does my imagination.
A pile of old T-Shirts that, I was finding hard to part with, sat sadly on my floor. Just as I was about to bag them up, I grabbed one from the top of the clump and held it up against me as I looked in the mirror. Thats when the LIGHTBULB appeared. With scissors in hand and a deep breath later, there it was, the same old shirt revamped into the trendy new Crop Top!
I must have been scissor happy after that because three more Crop Tops, and four imaginative backless numbers later, I noticed my pile was gone!
So, not only did this activity give me a fun alternative to an otherwise boring spring cleaning sunday, but it provided me with seven new tops- without cost of buying new ones or the waste in throwing out others. I like to think of it a Fashion recycling, and its cool that they have there own original twist.
Give it a try on your own old items. You could even make an old Denim Jacket into a fashionable vest or add studs to a once boring skirt. The Possibilities are Endless...

Denym...I love that idea because I also go through my closet every few months and have a garbage bag of clothes I wore only a handful of times. Maybe next time I can get your input of how to change them up! Can't wait to see you rock your new clothes :)
