Christmas tree with white decoration
Mt x-mas tree is almost done.
I love the holiday season, to me is one of the best times of the year.
I love to decorate the x-mas tree. The tree never looks the same and I been thinking about doing a x-mas tree with white ornaments.
I looked all over the internet for nice ideas and pictures but I din't find much. I have seen white trees with decoration in different colors but not what it was not what I was looking for.
I started looking for nice white decorations but I was very disappointed because most of the things I found were gold, silver or very colorful.
So I decided to make my own. The white top star and the small one that you see here were gold so I got some spray paint and I spray painted them. Problem solved : )

Bow on the back
I was happy when I saw the DIY project from Donattella
Her ideas are easy to understand and accomplish. I am sure you will enjoy making your t-shirt.
She named her project

Would you like a great "wow-factor" t-shirt
with about 20 minutes of work?
You've been served!
inspiration&realisation |
I made it last year and sure enough I'm going to wear it
over and over again this summer :)
It all begun with some internet browsing, and when I look for t-shirt inspiration,
the Red Valentino label is a great source. ...
Yeah, a bit excessive price tags, agreed.
This shirt was 255$... now on sale @ 178.50 on net-a-porter.com.
What a joke!
image from net-a-porter.com collage by me |
I had everything on hand:
* a grey t-shirt
* some black mesh
* a small piece of black silk for the bow
* my sewing machine
click on picture to magnify |
* cut the back of the t-shirt in the middle, leaving about 3" at the top uncut
* round the edges (optional, the original doesn't have round edges)
* cut a piece of black mesh in a sort of triangular shape with a round base (the two extra parts sticking out at the bottom won't be necessary if you don't round the edges)
* place the mesh inside the shirt and pin the sides onto the side of the cut
* trim the excess mesh underneath
* make a bow and pin it with a safety pin (so you can easily remove it to wash your shirt)
... probably even less then 20 minutes, right?
