Winter Trends and How to Use Them 3


 Polo-necks.
An easy way to stay cozy and try something new would be to knit a chunky neck-warmer to layer under tops.   

Hip Trends
Hips are now being emphasized so try and add a little pizzazz by stitching beads on to an old belt.


Velvet
This winter a way to wear two trends in one go is to buy a velvet coat and that would be a bit on the pricey side so I would use a velvet ribbon as a belt.                                                                                                                                                                         

Winter Trends and How to Use Them 2

Cowboy & Rockabilly
Many ideas spring to mind when I think of those to styles so the possibilities are endless like a cute spotty manicure or some leather bracelets as accessories.


Psychedelic
Going back in time can influence your style and bring it bang up to date by doing some bright, patterned knits.


Over-sized Overcoat
This trend can be used in almost any item of clothing like wearing a long floating skirt.

Winter Trends and How to Use Them

Trends aren't just for fashion as they can be inspiration in any craft.

Geometric
Geometric prints on chunky knits are the perfect way to stay trendy and warm.



Baggy Leather
Baggy Leather Trousers aren't my cup of tea but have made me want put some leather in my life not necessarily in trousers. 

Shiny PVC
Shine is something easily transferable and can be used on loads of things like to give your nails a high shine by buffing them after painted.




My First Post

  Hi I'm Hope and this is my blog and as you can tell by the title   I love crafts like Knitting, Stitching, Felt Beads, Jewellery Making, Nail Art Customizing Clothes, Crochet, Hairdressing and Drawing. I will try to share the little wisdom I have with the world via my blog and will try not to make it a place for whinging and ranting. Although I will share things about my life. Also anything like needle sizes, spelling or shop locations will be in the UK.
