DIY LEOPARD PRINT SCARF WATCH #DIYweekTODAY

Recently I contributed this project to the TODAY Show's DIY Style Week - make sure you check out the post here and enter the DIY contest. I made a simple scarf watch which I will definitely be layering with all my other wrist bling. Can you say arm par-tay?

You need:
A watch with a removable strap
A slim silk scarf. I used leopard print but you can use any print you like - floral would look great!

How to:
1. Take the arm straps off your watch. I used a needle to push the pins out and then removed the arms.

2. Take the pins out of the straps.

3. Put the pins back into their sockets of the watch.

4. Thread your scarf through the pins so that it forms the straps of the watch.

5. Pull the scarf through so that the lengths of fabric are even on each side of the watch.

6. Wrap the scarf around your arm for some simple but seriously fun arm candy! You can tie the scarf in a big bow or a small knot to secure.

LEOPARD PRINT DIYs

Even after a few seasons I still have a hankering for a little bit of leopard print.The DIY sort of course. It's interesting that this 'power leopard' colour palette (see on me at LFW last year) - red, leather, leopard - is still going strong. I love when you get a little bit of time to enjoy a trend. Although lots of my friends would argue that their leopard print ballet flats are a staple that they'll never give up. Anyways, here's a round up of my favourite leopard inspired DIYs.

What say you guys, is leopard still on your agenda?

DIY Leopard Print Mini Shorts

I bought some very cute palazzo style pants in my local thrift store recently, but as stipulated by rules of the thrift store, I was unable to try them on (NO TRY MISSY NO TRY!!!). I got home and they were a good 4 inches too short for me ('expecting floods' length) - it is Asia after all. So I decided to make some shorts out of them. Simple job - measure, cut, sew, done. Outfit pics to come.
