DIY Fashion: Embellished Denim Hot Pants

Iron-on motifs, fresh and floral neckline applique and iron-on diamante and nail-heads make it super simple to refresh your summer wardrobe this season.

This week we have embellished a pair of denim shorts with coloured metallic nail heads, iron on diamante and some embroidery thread. What do you think?

Firework Design Created with Embroidery Thread & Colourful Hot-Fix Metal Nail-Heads

Shorts Embellished with 3mm Hot-Fix Crystal Diamante in a Heart Shape

To create this simple transformation we used a Kandi Kane hot-fix wand. This is the professional tool to apply hot-fix crystal diamante, pearls and nail heads. The wand heats up with two minutes making light work out of what can be a very time consuming and fiddly job! No more applying glue with tooth picks and picking the stones up with tweezers… this wand does it all for you, and without any mess!

The box includes 8 interchangeable tip sizes; 2,3,4,5,6 & 7mm, plus 4 & 9mm flat heads for nail heads, a UK plug and is CE approved.

Hot-Fix Products Available from JosyRose.com

To be used with hot-fix products as seen above, sold by JosyRose.com. Each stone or nail-head has a non-sticky back which contains hard glue activated by heat. Once heated, this glue becomes soft and will stick to almost any surface. We stock a large selection of shapes, sizes and colours o choose from.

Valentine's Craft: Cute As A Button Wired Haberdashery Hearts

These Haberdashery filled hearts are really effective and very easy to make. They can be used as a door/wall/window hanging, or you could make a smaller version to hang on a Valentine's Day card.

Instructions:

Simply select some coloured malleable craft wire. 

Thread the wire with buttons, ribbon roses and sequins, leaving a few gaps for some feature applique.

Tie the embellished wire into a circle.

Manipulate the embellished circle into a heart shape.

Add a small beaded tassel to the inner point of the heart, using the ribbon loop as a hanger.

Tip: Although the heart is embellished with lots of different beads and buttons, we have opted to use similar, complimentary coloured items, to give the piece a feeling of unity.
