d.i.y incredible

On Saturday we had to dress up as Superheroes in work, to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust and to promote the new catalogue, I searched the internet for costumes but the results came back.. slutty.

So I decided to make my own, this is me as a d.i.y Incredible! 

  

to make this costume you will need:

a plain red top

dark transfer paper

gloves

leggings

so firstly you need to find a logo and flip it so it prints in reverse..

you can pinch the one above i already flipped it!

iron on depending on your image size, the bigger the image the longer you need to apply heat.

this will all be included in the instructions with the transfer paper.

allow to cool, peel off and your good to go!

Here is another costume I created using transfer print, for Tarnia's Lady Gaga 21st birthday!

This costume recieved lots of compliments, and it was super super easy to make!

I cannot explain to you how amazing and easy transfer print is, I think I paid about £4 for a pack of 10 sheets of eBay, but in retail stores its starts at £10 a pack. Make sure you buy the right transfer paper, as I used left over light transfer paper to make my incredibles costume, but I really should of used dark thats why the orange isn't very prominent on top of the red.

These are photos from last weekend that I took after I staggered in at 2am!

I finally wore my velvet skater dress that I posted about ages ago, I teamed it with one of my many pairs of patterened tights - obsessed - and my trusty wedge boots which are extremely comfortable.

I wore my halo hair extensions out which blended unbelievably well with my natural hair and created a brilliant ombre effect. I had lots of compliments as people thought it was my real hair! They are very easy to style, and took the heat of my ghd's pretty well.

shenanigans!

here are a collection of images from lasts weekends outings!

shamballa bracelet - clothes show

woah, didn't realise I was dressed top to toe in New Look today till I wrote that... anywho...

Today I wore this outfit and wondered to town, it was a ratty hair and minimal make up kinda day.

I had every intention of starting my Incredibles costume, but when I went to print onto my magic paper it had no black ink left, bummer! So I paid a very kind local graphics company a £1 to print it for me. The d.i.y shall commence tomorrow with a post to follow.

Shamballa bracelets have been very popular at festivals last year and are set to be popular again this year, this bracelet retails at £29.99 in Argos stores, so I swiftly bought this on when I saw it for only £5 at the Clothes Show. There is a wide range on eBay rather cheap, I bought a rainbow one and a turquoise one which made lovely Christmas gifts.

do you have any fun d.i.y projects?
