Cardi Clips DIY a la Emma from GLEE


Cardi clips!

Short blurb today (just got back from a wedding) - I was looking for the clothes from GLEE and came across this tutorial to create your own Emma-esque cardi clips and it was super easy too!  I just needed clip-on earrings, chain, 2 jump rings and some jewelry pliers!

Here are Emma's:

So cute! :)

  1. That's kind of neat! I would be scared to cut up a sweater like that, but if one of my sweaters shrink too much in the wash, I could turn it into a shrunken cardigan! Thanks for the link :)

  2. Wow, she cut up her sweater vs. just using a cardigan?

    Have you seen Stylepint's or Kerry's blog? Stylepint did a tutorial a while back (http://stylepint.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/diy-part-ii-sweater-clip/) and Kerry made a clip too (http://littlenashua.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/adventures-in-thriftstores/).

  4. PetiteXXS, PAG, C&P - Thanks ladies! I have yet to feel confident enough in my sewing skills to refashion an existing sweater into a cardi, but kudos to her! I just wanted sparkly cardi clips :)

    PAG - Thanks for the links! I love the pearls and owls that Stylepint did and Kerry's blog is a good read :)

  5. You're very talented. I love all your DIYs. I am thinking about doing the LOFT ruffles sweater but I am afraid it's going to fail.

  7. Thanks PetiteLittleGirl - don't be afraid to fail! Just attach the ruffles with a few stitches and if you don't like it, you can always take them out and your cardi will be the same as before :)

    Thanks Stylepint - I love your owl / pearl cardi clips!
