MK boots, Romeo + Juliet Couture anorak, Calvin Klein skirt, DIY fingerless gloves
Since the cold weather is upon us, I wanted to share this "fingerless gloves" tutorial with you. It's quite simple to do and is a great money saving alternative.
Supplies you will need: acrylic/polyester gloves(preferably colored ones), scissors, lighter
**If you are under 18, please consult with your folks before you do Step 2.
Step 1: Trim off the finger part of the gloves at the desired length. It usually measures around 2 1/2 inches.
Step 2: Sear the frayed edges with a lighter. This step helps the gloves to not unravel. It's also best to make sure the material is acrylic or polyester before searing. Natural fibers like wool/cotton will give off an unpleasant odor and is not recommended.
Step 3: That's all there is to it! You are ready to wear your new fingerless gloves.

Danke für den Tipp, werde ich gleich mal umsetzen, für die Übergangszeit ist das eine perfekte Lösung!

Great blog - just wanted to add that it is VERY IMPORTANT to pay attention to what your gloves are made of if you're going to take a flame to them - they must be acrylic/polyester (or at least 80%) in order for this to work.
if they are 100% natural fiber (like wool or cotton) then you will have hot smelly mess on your hands.
love love love the outfit and how the color palette blends in with the backdrop. Those boots are to die for :D And yet, another great (and easy!) DIY :)
