Structured Pattern Skirt DIY Craft Project

By: Katherine Priest

Make this Structured Pattern Skirt DIY Craft Project out of chicken wire and a die-cut pattern. This is an eye catching yet simple skirt pattern that people won't soon forget. Best of all, you can recycle an old paper pattern and use it for your skirt - it all comes full circle. Use a heart die to create shapes for the skirt. The pieces of paper glued on to the chicken wire will create a voluminous look and will help the skirt flutter in the wind. The addition of glitter is both eye-catching and unexpected. Who wouldn't want to wear this fantastic free skirt pattern? Show off your unique style and creativity with this genius and fun craft project idea. It's just as fun to make as it is to wear.

Instructions

Take out your chicken wire and with gloves wrap it around your body for your desired length. Then cut.
Shape your chicken wire into a skirt then try it on. Adjust accordingly, then cut of any sharp ends.
Using a heart die cut and the pattern cut out the hearts. I would recommend leaving the pattern folded to cut out the hearts faster.
Then glue that hearts tip to tip with the tacky glue.
Attach the hearts to the chicken wire frame by gluing a line on the string of hearts and folding over 1/2 inch, repeat along the top and in the middle to get volume.
Spray the top gold and spray down pulling farther and farther away to create a ombre effect and then spray the white paint on the edge lightly and add the glitter paint. Seal, then let dry.
