Narukvica / Fabric Bracelet from Collar

Danas nema tutorijala. Daaavno (mislim prošle godine, ako ne i "davnije" sam "pokupila" jednu košulju. Totalno nenosivu. Ali isto tako, totalno zanimljivu. (Mislim da bi je se Josipa i Antonija trebale sjetit jer su bile sa mnom kad sam je "pokupila"). Uglavnom, ta košulja je duuuugo ležala u jednoj mojoj ladici, a ja nikako smisliti što učiniti s njom. Pa eto, neki dan sam se uhvatila škara... I sada imam baš cool narukvicu. Mislim da je nemoguće namjerno pronaći nešto slično, zato nema tutorijala, ali poanta je u tome da uvijek, ali baš uvijek iz ničega može nastati nešto. Uostalom, kao i uvijek u životu... Samo sam odrezala ovaj kolar na košulji i (budući da već ima dugme) sad imam baš super narukvicu. 

Što li će nastati od ostatka košulje... nadam se da ostatak neće sljedeću godinu čekati u onoj istoj ladici.

I don't have tutorial for today. All I have is few photos of mine most recent DIY. I used collar of this thifted shirt. All I did is some cutting and now I have bracelet. 

Nice, isn't it?!

I have no idea what to do with the rest of this shirt :)))

DIY Workout Top

 

Ok, ovaj post je zapravo samo kako bih se hvalila da vježbam. Ali neka vas to ne zavara. Ako imam odjeću za vježbanje, ne znači da je pretjerano koristim :)))

Iako, moram priznat, ovu novu majicu sam koristila. Hehehe :)

U par sličica ćete vidjeti kako sam u 10 minuta promijenila nenosivu majicu u sasvim nosivi top. Nadam se da vam nisu dosadili refashioni :)))

Please do not be fooled, if I have (and wear) workout clothes, it doesn't mean that I actually do mine workouts :)))

But, I have to admit that I ran few miles wearing this top :))))  (If people who know me in real life don't believe that... well, I can barely believe, but... I'm not lying)

Here is how I transformed ugly, old t-shirt into wearable top. I use it for running, so let's call it workout top. Hope that you like refashions :)

Kada god šijete na ovom materijalu (od običnih majica) uvijek, ali baš uvijek koristite cik-cak bod. I to mi je bilo jedino pravilo, oko ostalih detalja se nisam zamarala. 

Always use your zig-zag stitch when you're sewing this (t-shirt) material.

 

Majica je bila kratka. Produžila sam je tako što sam na ramena zašila trake od čipke. 

Original "before" t-shirt was short, so I had to make mine top longer. All I did is sewing that lace on shoulders. And, it worked :)

Leteći Balon / Flying Balloon

 

Od stare žarulje (koja je mjesecima čekala svoj red za makeover) sam napravila leteći balon. Ideja nije moja. Ovakve leteće balone sam vidjela na blogu Art drops. I stvarno smatram da su to mala umjetnička djela (baloni na tom blogu, a ne općenito). I to ne samo baloni, na tom pregenijalnom mjestu ćete sigurno pronaći toliko veselih a tako lijepih stvari koje će vas oduševiti.

Using old bulb I made flying balloon. Inspiration is from genius blog Art drops. Her balloons are peace of art! I mean ti! 

Here is how I made mine flying balloon:

I've seen some kind of vases out of bulbs. Mine first idea was to make them. Well, I had a problem. After you remove that metal part, you get... some kind of hole, but I couldn't remove this lighting part. So... here is mine bulb, waiting for me for a last few months. You'll see what did I do.

(Yes, those are bobby pins ;) )

And, this red "basket" is Coca-cola plastic cap.

Još jedan makeover / Another dress from maxi skirt

I slijedi još jedan re-fashion!!!

Ali prvo moram zahvaliti svojoj dragoj ujni koja je pristala na malo gnjavaže i danas je moj model. (Ja sam sama sebi dosadila, a mogu mislit kako je vama gledati me non-stop)

Hvala Tonka :))) Jako nam je drago što danas uljepšavaš ovaj post :)))

Možda i ne bi bilo ovoliko refashiona da mi sada ljudi ne daju svoju odjeću sa riječima "Ti ćeš sigurno znati što s ovim :)

A meni drago :)

Uglavnom, nisam imala malu crnu haljinicu (Nevjerojatno, zar ne?!?! Da, znam :) )

E pa sada je imam. 

Tutorijal je sličan ovome. Ali, suknja je već u startu bila uža, tako da nisam ništa ni šivala ni rezala. Samo sam rašila pri vrhu za ruke. Poslije malo obrubila. Lijepi kaiš. I to je sve. 

Isn't lady on first photo lovely?! That is mine aunt. She is so kind so... she accepted to be our model today. 

Well, we have another refashion for today. There are so many refashions lately because, people started to give me their clothes. They say that I'll know what to do with it :)

He, he, I'm happy with that :)

Anyway, can you belive that I didn't have little black dress?!

I have it now :)

It is something like this tutorial. But this skirt wasn't so big, so I didn't cut or sew. All I did are those arm holes. Use some nice belt for it. And that's it.

It can't be any simpler :)

Mijenjanje boje / Changing colors

Od maksi suknje sam napravila haljinu. To možete vidjeti ovdje. 

Maslinasto zelena može često biti jako lijepa boja, ali meni ipak nije funkcionirala za ljeto, more... Trebalo mi je nešto što bi bilo prikladnije i temperaturama i plažama i svemu vezanom za ljeto. Pa kad sam se već igrala mijenjajući je, zašto ne bih učinila da budem potpuno zadovoljna. 

Planirala sam je u izbjeljivaču izbijeliti pa onda obojati bojom za tkanine. Ali, izbjeljivač je nije potpuno izbjelio. Dobila sam ovu boju s kojom sam prezadovoljna. Tako da, sve što sam učinila je ubacila je u izbjeljivač i nakon nekih sat vremena, dobila haljinicu boje koja mi se totalno sviđa. 

Što vi mislite? Je li ok ovako, ili bih još ponešto mogla učiniti?

I refashioned maxi skirt in order to get dress. You can see it here.

This green color could be nice, but I think that it doesn't work for summer. I need something more appropriate for hot temperatures, beaches and ice creams. 

Well, I played changing it, so why not to be completely satisfied. Mine plan was to bleach it and then dye it. But, I didn't dye. After bleaching I got this mustard yellow, and I was happy with it. Actually, I love it :) 

What do you thing? Is there anything that I could change on mine "new" dress?

UPDATE:
I have big problem!


I can't upload any new photo. 

We have 1 GB of free memory space on Picasa web-album, and I've used it. Now, if I try to upload new photo, I get message that I should buy extra memory space. (And, I can't delete any old photo in Picasa, in order to make space, because, it will be deleted from mine blog too. )

Do I really have to buy that memory space???

Is there any trick to avoid that???

Majica od kuhinjskih krpa / Shirt from Dish Towels

Da, dobro ste pročitali :) od kuhinjskih krpa sam napravila majicu. Ok, ovo je stvarno malo, "drugačiji" projekt. Ali poanta je da treba pusiti mašti na volju i ona vas može odvesti jako, jako daleko. Ma čak i dalje od toga da u javnosti oblačite kuhinjsku krpu (a stvari nosite u podmetaču za tanjure). A na kraju krajeva, čini mi se da ova maica i nije nenosiva. Što vi mislite? 

Kad je baka vidjela što sam obukla, ništa nije komentirala ali je odmah otvorila svoju škrinju i pronašla mi par stvarno prekrasnih tkanina. (Hehe, o njima nekom drugom prilikom). Ali njena poruka je jasna :))))

Yes, I did. I made shirt using dish towels (dish clothes). Why? Because I can! 

If you use your imagination it will take you far, far away. Maybe on place where you're wearing tea towels on yourself, and you're wearing your stuff in placemat. I even think about going out in public wearing dish towels (aka mine new shirt :) What do you think? Is it wearable?

Tutorial:

I use scarf now, but if it becomes to hot like this, I'll wear it with satin ribbon.

Torbica od drvenog podmetača / Clutch Bag from Placemat

Znate one drvene podmetače za stol? Da, čak i od njih možete napraviti precool torbicu. Iskreno, ja sam osuševljena kako je moja ispala. A boje djeluju tako da ti baš poprave raspoloženje. Iskreno, već sam viđala torbice od podmetača, i sama sam napravila već dvije verzije: ovu i ovu. Ali nisam vidila ovakve, drvene. Hehe, izmislila sama :))))

Hm, hm, wood placemat... Could I make clutch bag out of wooden placemat. O, yes I could!!! And I made it. I made Wooden Clutch Bag. It is one easy DIY, but with so fun result :) I like how it turned out, and those colors are so vibrant. They are fun! 

Honestly, I've seen on other places how to make placemat clutch bags. And I even made two versions of those made out of fabric: this and this. But, this kind of wooden clutch bag... it is all mine :)))) 

What do you think?

Kvadratiće tkanine silikonskim pištoljem zalijepim na rub, presavijem i zalijepim sa druge strane i to je to. Bilo bi preodlično kada bi umjesto tkanine bila nekakva široka satenska traka, ali nisam imala prikladnu boju. Ipak, i ovako je prilično lijepo.

All I did is gluing. I glued two fabric rectangles (using hot gun) on wooden placemat. (That's how I got space in clutch.)

A mjesta u torbici ima sasvim dovoljno.

There is enough space in it.
