Jacket DIY Ideas – Five Amazing Tutorials to Try

My favorite fashion piece for fall isn’t flannels – it’s my jackets. Every person has that item that they cannot get enough of – for me, it is my outwear collection. On my overflowing garment rack hangs treasured investment pieces, thrifted treasures and jackets I have up-cycled from vintage stores. By DIY-ing flair to your outerwear, you are adding a pop of personality, whimsy and style to something that might otherwise hang forgotten.


Over the seasons, I have been inspired to DIY my jackets in a variety of ways. From Cricut vinyl to bedazzling, this list has a creative jacket DIY ideas for any style !

    Thanks so much for sharing- I am following you! Because of you, I’m inspired to refresh my fringed boots that I’ve almost worn to death- they’re a favoured piece of my wardrobe!

    Shame on you Susan for your unkind words! Haters are going to hate I guess- but happily most of us are more gracious to each other, especially in these crazy times.
