DIY: Modern-Vintage Vest
Create a hip vest from your thrift-store treasure


I bought a vintage vest a few months ago in an ukay, and thought of giving it a spin to make it more wearable and modern. Here's how:



First, you'll need your denim vest like this rainbow Pepe Jeans find. 

Lay garment flat to estimate desired length.

Cut the vest around 8 inches from bottom end, or until you get desired length.

Fray edges. 
TIP: You'll get an even more fringed edges after several use and from constant washing of cloth.

Give your vest some attitude by attaching studs. I got mine from an old studded belt! :)

Finished Product:
Now you have your very own funky Studded Striped Bolero! :)
