Sabrina says make your own Miu Miu inspired sequin socks
Miu Miu A/W ’09
Accessories being big for A/W ’09, and the easiest way to jazz up an outfit, in this recession-racked period.
Embellishment, sequins, and shiny things were all over the catwalks for A/W ’09 back in the spring. Why spend next month’s rent on some hosiery when you can make them yourself?
Tiny Sparkly Things has a great tutorial to make your legs Cullen-esque – sorry sparkly for the winter season. Be warm and have the clothes of a killer!
Materials Needed:
1. A pair of tights/or knee high socks
2. Sequins
3. Fabric glue
4. Needle and thread
How to:
1. Place a piece of cardboard (some tights come with it) inside each leg. The cardboard will prevent both sides from sticking together, and will also stretch fabric to work on.
2. Use a super duper strong fabric glue to smother small areas on tights.
3. Cluster sequins on top of glue and spread all over the surface of the tights. Feel free to layer on top of one another for a more three dimensional effect. If you have any sequins or broken mirrored jewelry lying around, use them. Traditional sequins aren’t the only option for tights—get creative!
4. Once dry, reinforce sequin clusters with a needle and thread. Use similarly colored thread to blend in with tights and sequins.
However try not to ladder them when you do it. Choose a thicker denier (I’d say 30 and above).
When I make my own pair, I shall show you the fruits of my labour! Til then, I hope I inspire a whole lot of credit crunchy couture.

Try eBay, it’s pretty good for craft supplies.
