1. DIY Sparkly Gold Fringe Dress - Fearless Era
For a full-body bedazzlement, look no further than our gorgeous fringe dress project. This easy dressmaking project is suitable for beginners and will create a shimmery, shining metallic dress that is super fun to dance in! We love the look of gold metallic tassels for the dress but feel free to go with pink, baby blue or silver tassels for an alternate look. Dance in the storm in your best dress, fearless!
Complete the look with some DIY rhinestone cowboy boots, a striking cowboy hat and perhaps a DIY sparkly cardboard guitar!
2. DIY Shimmering Pink Tinsel Fringe Jacket - Midnights Era
This incredible tinsel fringe jacket features four different colours of tinsel that you can organise in colour order for a gorgeous ombre effect. Choose pinks and purples, purples and blues, yellows and greens or oranges and reds and create a jacket that shimmers and shines as you move. You will feel totally bejewelled and be ready to dance in the midnight resin with this amazing tinsel fringe jacket that just hits different!
If you're feeling extra creative, you can add a DIY rhinestone navy bodysuit and rhinestone boots for a complete look.

For a comfy, cosy and cute concert experience, this pure wool cardigan project is the one for you. A great project for crafters who love a challenge, this lovely cardigan features rustic cable knit patterns, simple detailing on the sleeves and front and two buttons that allow you to close the cardigan if needed. Make it in cream, pink, baby blue or pastel green. You'll be ready to get cosy in a cabin in the woods with this cardigan!
For some extra flair, add some cute sew-on patches and motifs to the sleeves such as stars, hearts, flowers or even cats!
4. DIY Cute and Creative Lover Headband - Lover Era
You can let your creative skills run wild with this beginner-level Lover headband project!
