DIY: Maxi fringe skirt

Fringe is everywhere this fall. It has that boho/tribal look that many of us love. So when I saw this maxi fringe skirt in one of my on-line shopping sites, I thought why not make it myself.

I believe some things you don't need to pay big bucks to get the look- this maxi fringe skirt was one of them.
Here are the steps I did to get my very own maxi fringe skirt...
  1. Go to a thrift/vintage store and find a jersey maxi skirt in your color choice. Or you can go to your favorite cheap fashion store such as wetseal, forever21, charlotte rousse-one of these stores will eventually have them.
  2. Turn the skirt inside out. This way you can get a stencil or any kind of pencil liner to line the areas in which you will becutting. (Lining the areas to cut can prevent uneven fringes)
  3. Start cutting...This can be time consuming so be patient (unlike me) and make sure your fringes are cut evenly.
  4. Make sure that the top portion of your fringes where the cut ends are even.
There you go.. such easy steps for your very own fringe skirt. Enjoy.
