BEANIE

Hi guys! It’s your girl Rshan bringing you another banging post full of swagga. And no! swag ain’t for boys! You are born with it and live with it forever. You either got it or you don’t! I think we got it.

One of the things that make me happy is turning something cheap into something that looks expensive. After all they say Image is everything.

So today we are going to work with beanies. I don’t want to tell you guys what it’s about, so let’s just get started and have some fun.

WHAT YOU NEED:

- Beanie

- Studs / needle and string. ( depending on the design you are going for )

- Scissors

- Fabric (any)

You can get plain beanies at Gikomba for 50 or less and at Ngara for 100 and at kawangware for 100Ksh! For the studs, as you already know, I buy a belt and take off the studs from the belt, it's cheaper that way, and you can get such a belt for 150ksh or less.

LET’S START WITH DESIGN NUMBER ONE

D.I.Y CUSTOMIZED BAD HAIR DAY BEANIE

STEP ONE and TWO: Cut strings from your fabric and using a needle, draw your letters, numbers or words accordingly. The purpose of this fabric is to give some width to your letters and it also makes it easier for you when doing the next step. The next step is to prepare your needle, with strings, yes double, triple them. I rolled mine 6 times; And go over each letter.

STEP TWO: Place your studs where you want them to be and just punch them in. Note that, you don’t have to do this step, it’s optional.

AND THERE WE HAVE IT!

I have plenty of bad hair days so I guess this will be extremely beneficial to me.

D.I.Y CUSTOMIZED STUDDED BEANIE

First of all, let me just say. 242 is my hood. Representing. All the way from Congo Brazzaville. “242 en fore” Sorry that is just something we say… lol… I am so hood, Hollywood couldn’t change me. :-D Anyway, back to business.

STEP ONE: Lay down your plain beanie and decide on what design you would like. It’s always good to try different things. So I give you guys some ideas for inspiration.
