Clothes
You don’t have to be a fashion student to create something unique and wearable (and even stylish). You can always buy something from a second-hand shop and modify it to suit your taste. You could sew some beads or lace on to a top, embroider some old jeans, hack up a skirt or print your own designs on plain T-shirts.
If you aren't so handy with a needle and thread and are likely to look more like Amy Winehouse post Camden night out than fashionasta-supreme, ditch the kitsch 'glue sequins to old flip flops for a refresh' spiel and try some of the below avenues.
There are a number of books on the market about how to clothe yourself on a budget and you don’t have to be Stella McCartney to step out in homemade style.
