Boohoo was one of the first online shops which I came across when I started blogging, so when I knew they were doing a DIY Campaign, I had to be on it! Boohoo asked me whether I would like to take part in the #boohooDIY Festival Campaign, which is where anyone and everyone can show their creative minds off to celebrate the launch of the new Festival Collection! I received a kit which was full of bits and bobs that I could use to re-vamp a Boohoo product, and here’s what I did!

I was able to choose the Boohoo top I wanted, so I went with the pre-‘tassled’ top, in fluro coral. (Buy it here) It is super duper bright, which means it is perfect for summer and going to festivals! Also, your friends will definitely not lose you amongst the crowds! Haha In the set was a Boohoo Lookbook (It had a poster on the back which is now in my room!), Puffy Paints, Studs, Gems and Tacky Glue.

I decided to just stick with the Puffy Paints and Gems for a simple DIY. I went for a plain pattern, (above). It wasn’t inspired by anything, I just thought of it on the spot! I used all the colours of the paints, along with 2 blue gems, and a silver one.

Puffy Paints dry 3D, so you do have to use quite a lot for it to really stand out. I glued down the gems with the tacky glue, and let it dry for 6 HOURS. Yes, it took 6 hours!! The Puffy Paints took forever to dry, but it was worth it in the end! The colours come out darker once they have set, which I really like, as before they were quite pale. I also attempted to plait the tassels, but they ended up getting all tangled up when I put on the top, so I had to un do them – this is why some of the tassels are shorter, below! The cut offs meant I was able to create a bracelet! A happy accident!

What I Wore: Roxy Tassel Hem Basic Tee in Neon-Coral (Boohoo) £10.00*, Black & Blue Laser Cut Dip Hem Skirt (ASOS) & Mint Green Trainers £7.99 (H&M).

Overall I am quite happy with my DIY skills! I think the pictures make the wobbly Puffy Paint look worse… ‘Excuses Excuses Tolly‘. I think I will be wearing this by the pool when it warms up (It was 10 degrees the other day. 10 DEGREES!), and hopefully I will be wearing shorts! I really enjoyed doing this DIY for Boohoo!
