DIY Pants to Wrap Top Refashion: Tutorial

I ran across these pants while thrifting recently and the earthy color is what really caught my eye. I immediately thought of the perfect upcycle! Well not off the top of my head but one I had lingering in mind for a while.

It was one of those ”so crazy it just might work” ideas. And it wasn’t until I put pen to paper that I realized I could pull it off. Here’s what I came up with (below).

This breezy wrap top pairs perfect with high waisted pants and skirts for a flawless look. I was never a crop top kinda person until now. With this wrap top I’m able to control how high or low I chose to wear it, which to me is versatility at it’s finest.

This denim project has been in the works for months! I wanted to start off the year with a BIG creative challenge…and let’s just say, I picked something very ambitious 😅

I’m currently handsewing each flower onto my project with care (and a few finger pricks) 🌸

Sharing this little peek as I slowly bring this upcycled denim idea to life. Can’t wait to show you the full transformation! 💙

This is probably the quickest and easiest upcycle This is probably the quickest and easiest upcycle I’ve ever done, and the results speak for themselves. ✂️ I whipped this up in just a couple of hours, with most of the time spent removing the turtleneck lol. No sewing machine required. Just a few snips here and there and a bit of hand sewing. 🎀 Oh, and it’s reversible too! In the video, I simply reversed the top for steps 1 & 2 😁 Full tutorial on my channel #linkinbio

I had this vintage dress and an idea to upcycle it I had this vintage dress and an idea to upcycle it by incorporating the belt buckle as a decorative accent. Coming up with the idea was the easy part. Figuring out how to make it work was another challenge. 🤦‍♀️ 

I actually had to sleep on it for a couple of days because I wanted the buckle to be removable. I was worried it might tarnish in the wash. 🤷‍♀️

That’s when it hit me, Why not make the dress convertible? In the end, I transformed it into a two-piece set! ✂️ It turned out to be one of my most versatile and favorite remakes so far. Check out the tutorial to see how everything came together! 💃🏻
