I am definitely not the first or the second or probably even the 5th person to do DIY shoulder pads …but it doesn’t mean I didn’t want to DIY my own version. And while they are a bit daring, I am kind of in love with them. I haven’t found a great and removable way to attach them aside from just pinning them on but if I were to wear them out, I would most likely hand stitch them to whatever I wanted to wear them with ..but loose enough to remove them at the end of the night without ruining the garment.
* You can purchase shoulder pads at your local fabric store …or, rip them out of an old jacket like I did.
* I started {as I always do} with the idea of using many different materials/notions {fringe, beads, rope, studs, pearls, chains, leather pieces} but never really have an exact plan. In this case, I made the first one to my liking then duplicated it. I have so many ideas for these I may just have to make more. Have fun!
