Are you bored of your closet, but don’t want to spend money on a brand-new wardrobe? We’ve got you covered. With the financial uncertainty of Covid-19, us fashionistas need new ideas on how to revamp our old styles into stylish modern pieces while still staying on a budget. We researched some of the top fashion influencers on the viral app, “Tiktok,” to curate a list of fresh new ideas on how to revamp your closet. Whether you consider yourself crafty or not, these five ideas are simple, affordable, and totally chic.
Rhinestone Air Force 1’s
Are those boring, old Air-Force 1’s taking up space in your closet? Adding rhinestones are a simple and affordable way to spice up your shoes. All you need are rhinestones, which can be purchased at any Dollar Store, glue, and shoes! Start by outlining the Nike symbol with rhinestones, and slowly work your way into the center of the symbol until it is completely filled with jewels. Afterwards polish the rhinestones with a thin layer of glue. Check out this video to follow along with the step by step process.
Upcycled UGG slippers
UGG slippers are a must have during the WFH days of quarantine. However, spending over a hundred dollars on a new pair of slippers isn’t in everyone’s budget. With this easy DIY activity, you can turn your old UGG boots into a pair of slippers within minutes. All you need are scissors and an old pair of UGGs. Start by cutting above the ankle seam all the way around the boot until you are left with just the bottom of the shoe. Slip your feet in, and there you go- new UGG slippers that look just like the one’s in store. Check out the video on how to complete this project.
DIY Bleach Denim
Before throwing-out those old jeans, grab some bleach and try out a half and half bleached jean look! The end result of this project are absolutely killer jeans that are half white and half blue. All you need are an old pair of jeans, duct tape, bleach, and a spray bottle. Start by placing the duct tape directly in the middle of your jeans, from just above the top button, to right below the crotch seam. Then, mix bleach and water in your spray bottle and then spray the solution onto the desired side of your jeans. Once the jeans are dry, just rinse and voilà- your new jeans!

Basic Beaded Shoelaces
This one is for the not-so-crafty DIYer’s out there. All you need are your favourite beads and your favourite shoelaces. Proceed by gradually adding beads to your laces as you tie your shoes up. Check out this link to see the final product!
DIY Vintage Sweater Vest
Sweater vests are slowly becoming the new hottest trend. Instead of searching for a vintage sweater vest from a vintage store, you can now find them all across fast fashion brands like Zara & H & M. Little did you know, you can also find them in your very own closet. All you need is an old sweater, scissors, thread, and a sewing needle. Start by cutting off the sleeves of your old sweater, leaving a few centimetres of the sleeve for the hem. Next, hem the arms by pinning and then sewing around the arm holes. For more experienced sewers, sweater vests can be cropped to match current trends. Check out this video to see how to make your vest.
