Pastel Goth Leather Jacket DIY

My fab assistant Julie is rocking some serious pink streaks these days and I have to say, they look amazing!  She's a huge fan of the pastel goth style so I decided to UP-style a jacket for her with a fantastic "My Little Pony" illustration by Miss Jedi Flip.  The jacket and her pastel goth style go together perfectly.  She wasn't sure at first, but she took the jacket home right after the photo shoot! Change up the images and heck, use sequins instead of flowers.....I don't care!  Just have fun, make messes and don't forget to Make Your Mark!  xoxoxo

The Allure Glitter paints totally make this project sparkle!

That pink hair is amazing!

I call this "My Little Pony" couture!

See how easy it is to make here!

Rockabilly Necktie with Lesley Riley's TAP!

I love a good heat transfer project and this one rocks!  I made it in honor of my dad who had vintage 1950's pin-up calendars in the back of his car shop when I was a kid.  He even had a necktie with a pin-up girl printed on the inside!  For this project I used the BEST product around for home printer heat transfers......It's Lesley Riley's TAP (Transfer Artist Paper) from C&T Publishing, and it's amazing.  You can heat transfer on to anything!  BTW, if you want to win some, just leave a comment on my video in the comment section and you'll be entered, OK!  Good luck!

Here's the how-to video

My dad had these all over his office wall!
