One of my favorite blogs right now that is saved to the top of my bookmarks is RunwayDIY. RunwayDIY features craft ideas that are inspired by the fashion fads of today and yesterday. Rather than going out and buying great fashion items like jewelry, clothes, bags, and other accessories, they give great and easy how-to instructions to follow, allowing you to make a one of a kind fashionable craft. The blog was set up with the intention to provide step-by-step tutorials on how to make runway fashions and to show how affordable and easy most of the items are to make.
This site has inspired much of my crafting lately. I have either made or obtained the materials to make the bowtie necklace, tie dye skirt, bullet necklace, paint-splatted pants, and studded oxford shoes among other crafts.
Beside these items that I particularly like, there are other great tutorials featured on the website. All of the designs use some sort of trend that is occurring or once occurred in our society’s fashion like neon colors, studs, sequins, chains, floral print, vests, tassels, and much more.
If you’re a fashionista or just like to be trendy from time to time, check out RunwayDIY’s website and get to crafting! I really think there’s something for everyone on this site.
And if that’s not enough, follow them on Twitter or Facebook and check out their separate tumblr blog!
