Haven't really updated this section for a while, so I thought it's about time ;)
Plus, I had the greatest inspiration for a little DIY thing. ;) We all have seen these metallic sweaters all over the place, right? Has anyone else been utterly annoyed by the fact that they cost like 40 euros?
I know I have. I stalked this silver number in GinaTricot for weeks, but then decided to make similar myself.
So I headed to flea market, and searched for a chunky-ish knit, and found one for 4 euros. Then I bought a fabric paint (gold) for 5,70 euros.
I had a bit too small brush for this, but it didn't matter too much... I covered our floor with old newspaper and started painting the sweater with gold inch by inch, which took about 2 hours. I didn't care too much about even finish, as I think it makes cooler effect when it is uneven.
The paint had to be ironed for it to attach properly, but then, it was ready. So for 9,70 euros and 2 hours' time, I got the sweater that costs 39,90 euros new.
So, what do you think? Great saving, right? ;)
I love it, Johanna. I have some jumpers that I got that i need to update too. hopefully I do it when I get more time, like... in two weeks. hahaha.

I think I'll do this some day again if I find a white jumper and neon paint ;)
DeleteOh goodness I love this! I saw a gold metallic sweater in H&M and wanted to buy it but by the time I got around to going back to H&M it was gone. I may have to give this a try!
