[ DIY: Toast of the Tulle ]

In this post I collected some good DIY ideas from forever21, and yesterday I put one of them into action.

I used an old plain top from my "waiting to be made-over" pile, a 5" strip of tulle, and a needle and thread.

 Coincidentally (I think not?) this black sweater is from Forever 21. I like the belled sleeves,

but the fitted torso is a little too plain for me so I haven't worn it in ages.

The ruffled tulle and handmade quickie belt gives it both more femininity and edge.

Voila! New half of a perfect party outfit! New Years perhaps?

I'm gearing up to recycle my stacks of old magazines into new projects...

This amazing magazine paper ring is by Frucci Design.

Wendy of dozidesign.blogspot.com has a quick and simple tutorial on making simple & pretty little paper rosebuds.

Patricia over at alittlehut.blogspot.com offers a great bowl made from just magazine pages and glue. Imagine the possibilities!
