DIY NECKLACE #2

I went rummaging around Bunnings (my local hardware store) and I fell in love with two aisles; plumbing fittings and wall fixtures. I got a little excited and made these two necklaces. At this point, I favour the silver one. However, it does weigh about a kilo and a half...

To make the silver one, I used:
 - a length of flexible irrigation tubing
 - 20 x 20mm nuts
 - 12 x 30mm nuts
 - 3 x 45mm nuts
 - plumbing pipe fastener (to hold the necklace together at the back)

And the gold one:
 - 5 meters cheap gold chain from a craft store
 - 2 x "some random piece of plumbing pipe thing"
 - 1 x "some slightly larger piece of plumbing pipe thing"
 - excuse the vague there, I don't know the right name for those things..

MATTA FACT

I found this amazing printed dress in an opshop last week, so ive cut off the bottom to wear as a skirt, and I cut the sleeves off the the top to make it a bit more wearable.

DIY NECKLACE

I was feeling a bit summery and floral today so I made this necklace.

HWEEN PREP

Some pictures from the weekend past...I made this necklace for halloween, and cut the top off these Levi 501s. For the necklace, I wrapped black string around a bunch of fabric and tied on some sticks, bits of gravel and some hair I had lying around from back when I had Japanese hair extensions.

Pretty excited about halloween to be honest. AND looking forward to this summer...it will be so much easier to get dressed in the morning. Although i have grown to like the heavy jackets and layering, I still prefer being able to wear whatever I want without fear of spending the day miserable and cold.

DIY SHORTS

I bought these Lee Supatubes a few years ago in this ridiculous bright pink colour and I hadn't worn them in a good while so I decided to cut them off, pour some toilet cleaner on them, and put a few studs on. NOW, they are ridiculously wearable.

DIY RIPPED JEANS

I spent 2 hours today using a stanley knife (box cutter) ripping these old Lee jeans up. I think I did a pretty good job. And they're nice and fluffy on the edges. Super.

HOLY MACKAREL

Shit. I am so ecstatic right now. I just made a jumpsuit. In an hour. With no pattern. And it fits. OMG. And then I decided to team it with a body brace/netted thing I made for uni, mesh american apparel tshirt and sportsgirl boots. I am in awe of myself. I think for the first time ever.
