2. Scarf gladiators
If you're a busy girl who doesn't have time to shop, or are just a lazy girl who'd rather not get out of her PJs to head off for that shopping trip today, you can use this DIY project to make your gladiators at home. This quickie project just requires you to use an old scarf to make yourself some new shoes. Sounds interesting? Here's the video tutorial by ThreadBanger.
3. A t-shirt vest
