The big trends for Spring 2012 are color blocking and neon. I thought up a cute way to bring just a touch of these trends into an outfit in a way that is understated and easy- it can easily be thrown on with any outfit.This takes maybe 15 minutes and is SO simple anyone can do it! Just make sure you test out your permanent markers to see if your superglue makes them bleed on the lace like mine did with the green. No bueno! But I decided to share anyways since it isn't all that noticeable AND it's an easy fix for you to make since this is such an easy tutorial.
Supplies
Sharpies/ permanent markers not included
Step #1: Cut your lace to the length of your cuff plus around 2 inches. I trimmed my lace on the edge because I didn't like the the asymmetry of it.
Step #2: Color lace with your permanent markers. This is where you decide whether you want neon, color blocking or something else. Again, even though these are permanent markers they will bleed on the lace so don't try any complicated patterns and don't switch colors too often.
Step#3: Glue lace to the cuff with the super glue, dotting the glue every half an inch or so and spreading it out with a toothpick (I only had skewers so I just used that). If you want you can also use clear nail polish under the edges (I feel like it's easier to get under there!). Cut off the excess and you're done!!
You can see how the green bled but the yellow didn't- so choose your colors of permanent markers wisely!
