Decorate Your Blazer

 Hello Readers. I think the best refashion project is the easiest one that makes the most impact. So, let's do a quick and easy "no-sew" refashion that can change our whole look. I wanted to change the look of this simple blazer. (Similar available here.) Let me show you how I did it, it only took a few minutes.

Let's have fun with pins, brooches, and more. 

Here is the blazer I started with. It's great, it's classic, and it goes with everything. It can obviously be worn just like this but it can also be a little more exciting. I wanted to jazz it up just a little with some pins and broaches. 

 

I dug around in my jewelry box and gathered all the pins I could find. (Similar available here.) You could borrow from a friend, your mom, your sister or your grandma. None of these pins really match or go together at all. That's the idea. The grouping is not meant to be matchy-matchy, it is meant to be a little chaotic and varied. I didn't really have that many pins but I had an idea. 

 

I had some earrings I could use. These are going to look like pins when I stick them in my blazer lapels. When they are mixed with all the other pins it will fill in space and add to the whole look. It doesn't really matter what they look like or where they came from. They will look great when they are mixed into the pins on the lapels.

 

I started pinning all my pins on the lapels of the blazer. I didn't have a really set plan. I tried to put different sizes together so that there was a variation of sizes all over. I didn't want all the larger pins next to each other or all the smaller pins all together. I thought it would look much better if they were sort of scattered around. 

 

I pinned on the pins and then I added a few earrings in between the pins. I didn't want two matching earrings right next to each other. Spacing them out made for a much better look. I used the earring backs to hold the earring on the jacket lapel. I pushed the earring post through the fabric of the jacket and put the earring back on the earring post just like I would on my ears. 

 

I kept adding pins and earrings to both lapels until the lapels were full and I was out of pins and earrings. I liked how they all looked together. It was slightly chaotic but lots of fun. (That sounds like life goals doesn't it? Slightly chaotic but lots of fun.)

 

I think the best part of this was how fast and easy it was. This took no time, no tools and anyone can do it. It is also temporary. You can easily undo all of these pins and wear the blazer again without the pins and earrings whenever you want. 

 

I had fun with this look. It really added a little something to my t-shirt and jeans. So, grab a blazer or even a jacket and all the pins you can find. Add some earrings and you will have a new fun look in no time. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
