thinkwilde: Sasha Pivovarova by Craig McDean for Vogue Italia, October 2009 remember when i used to do diy post? oh those were the days. embellished wool tights opaque tights. very very opaque. very very thick. navy is a lovely color when in an opaue tight. needle ( i do not suggest hot glue because of elasticity and washing longevity) thread scissors loose pearls from a necklace (faux is fine infact faux is best) loose sequins in a gold or silver tone loose shiny things in a similar gold or silver tone(mirror small flat buttons sequins in different sizes necklace beads) and a few extras maybe in a contrasting tone (see color wheel, for navy try green ect ect) try and figure out how you want the pieces to lay once you sew them on. i suggest laying two rows of the pieces flat on the floor the length of your leg and arranging them so that they vary in width and items stick a piece of carboard into your tight. i used the piece of board mine came with. with the needle and thread attach the pieces to the tight moving the cardboard piece down the leg as you go so that you dont sew through the tights. continue until finished. put tights on and be carerful. add any extra pieces to empty spaces or tighten loose pieces and careful not to prink your leg. always, always, always hand wash in cold water or put in a ziplock bag in the freezer. the freezer kills germs and keeps things from getting loose or tangled or ripped. look at you and your sparkly legs! twerk or should i say twinkle.

remember when i used to do diy post? oh those were the days.

embellished wool tights

  1. opaque tights. very very opaque. very very thick. navy is a lovely color when in an opaue tight.
  2. needle ( i do not suggest hot glue because of elasticity and washing longevity)
  3. thread
  4. scissors
  5. loose pearls from a necklace (faux is fine infact faux is best)
  6. loose sequins in a gold or silver tone
  7. loose shiny things in a similar gold or silver tone(mirror small flat buttons sequins in different sizes necklace beads) and a few extras maybe in a contrasting tone (see color wheel, for navy try green ect ect)
  • try and figure out how you want the pieces to lay once you sew them on. i suggest laying two rows of the pieces flat on the floor the length of your leg and arranging them so that they vary in width and items
  • stick a piece of carboard into your tight. i used the piece of board mine came with.
  • with the needle and thread attach the pieces to the tight moving the cardboard piece down the leg as you go so that you dont sew through the tights.
  • continue until finished.
  • put tights on and be carerful. add any extra pieces to empty spaces or tighten loose pieces and careful not to prink your leg.
  • always, always, always hand wash in cold water or put in a ziplock bag in the freezer. the freezer kills germs and keeps things from getting loose or tangled or ripped.

look at you and your sparkly legs! twerk or should i say twinkle.
