La Abiding Citizen

Hand painted Tee

“Haan ji? Kya? Ki gall hai? Chase kar rahe ho sir ji aap mera. Subah se dekh raha hun main. Sau (100) number ghuma dena hai maine! Baad mein mut bolna.”

“Please don’t misunderstand me! I am a la abiding citizen!”

DIY tank

Ideally I explain DIYs in proper steps with instructions but this eons-old-Tee-turned-into-a-tank was just an accident. It was an experiment fueled by my obsession of making crop tops from T-shirts. The idea to keep the armhole bigger was for some summer layering. So I layered it over a slip dress and wore a vintage Lee Cooper blazer on top. The rest of the look is quite simple. Hope you all like it because I am thinking to try this with a few old shirt too. Am I being looked like Edward Scissor Hands now?!

Thumb print nail art

I end up spoiling my nail paint every time I try putting it. The impatient me can't wait for it to get dry. A while back the same thing happened and I out of anger spoiled it completely. Being too lazy to take the mess off, I kinda started liking the texture it gave to my nails.

This uncanny nail-art incident made me do this DIY. Most of you might not like it but I had to blog out this idea stuck in my head since then. No brushes required. All you need is your thumb :)

Neon Mesh Cuff

My DIY itch is over! Remember I mentioned on Facebook about things that are currently inspiring me a lot. It's amusing to see how my thoughts got put into action and I created this neon mesh cuff. And this is certainly not the last time you'll see it featured on By-the-wear. I have been wearing it wherever I get a chance and it stays put so well!

You must have already know the drill after seeing the pictures...clean and simple as it look.

Here's what you will need

/A wine bottle with the mesh cover secured.

/Needle

/Thread in the same colour as the mesh

/Crystals in prong setting
/Glue

STEP 1

Take the mesh cover and fold it from both sides.

STEP 2

Hold the folded mesh and apply Araldite while layering both ends on each other. Keep it like that for 5 mins for the edges to paste.Then turn it back to the front side.

STEP 3

Decide a design and accordingly start pasting the crystals with araldite. Once done then stitch the crystals to keep them in place.

STEP 4

Try it on!
