PRADA FEATHER HEADBAND


Among all that POP ART inspired collection, Prada for this SS14 added to the styling  a touch of tribal. The mix is perfect, and the feathers are making more fun every outfit! Today we are going to make our very own Prada headband! 

YOU WILL NEED:


LET'S START! 


STEP 1: Take the elastic band, and measure your head size. Cut a little less of your size, we'll see why later. 

STEP 2: Take the white tape and make two stripes, leaving a black one in the middle. You will see that the tape will not make the band be elastic anymore. 


STEP 3: Take the colored feathers, you can choose whatever color you like, and place them on the back of the band.

STEP 4: When you find the right position, take the glue gun and start to glue every feather.

STEP 5: Cut a small piece of the elastic band and paste it on both side of the headband. This step is to make it elastic and suitable for your head. 


...et voilà! Now you should have just-like-Prada headband! 




Good luck!

MARTIN MARGIELA MASK


I love Maison Martin Margiela, and I went crazy when I first saw the 2012 haute couture show. I want it so bad, but it was impossible to find, so I decided... Why can't I make one? It is really easy and everyone can make it, and today we are going to transform a simple black beanie into a haute couture mask!  


YOU WILL NEED: 


LET'S START! 



STEP 1: Take the felt and the metallic foil. Measure the foil and cut precisely at the edge of the felt. 

STEP 2: Take off the protective side and stick it carefully, in order to not make bubble, to the felt.

STEP 3: Take the pinking scissors and start cutting in a triangular shape (you can choose your own shape!). This step will take a while because the felt is very thick and hard to cut, so take your time! 








STEP 4: Take the black beanie and put down the turn-up.  

STEP 5: This step is optional. Start to put the triangles in a design you like, so it will be easier on the next step to glue everything.

STEP 6: Take the glue gun, and starts to glue every pieces. Be careful when you stick the triangle, the glue is hot and hurts a lot! (my experience :D) 

In the end you should have something like this: 





























My beanie was sewn on one side, and I decided to keep it like that so it's shorter in the back!


Good luck!
