5 Easy Design It Yourself / DIY Saree Ideas

It is not always necessary to spend a fortune to get a designer saree. There are many ways in which you can design a stylish contemporary saree for yourself on your own. Yes, that’s absolutely possible! Let’s see 5 easy DIY saree ideas:

1.  Add a border

This is the simplest DIY saree method. You can transform a plain fabic into a beautiful designer saree by adding latest saree borders that are available in stores. Buy a plain saree fabric and choose a border that contrasts with the color of your saree. You may add this border to the sleeve of your blouse too. You can use a velvet border, silk border, wire work border, pearl border, kundan work border, mirror work border or anything that you like. A variety of lace and designer borders are available in local stores and online.

2. Embroidery / Embellishments

Another simple DIY saree method is to brighten a plain saree fabric with some embroidery or embellishments like zardosi work, mirror work or kundan work. There are several ways to embellish your sarees. Readymade embroidery patches are also available in the market and these look really chic. Simply buy a plain saree fabric of your choice and glue kundans or mirrors or sequins along the saree borders or all over the saree. Your DIY designer saree is ready!!

3. Sequins

Any plain saree can be converted into a designer piece by adding a sequins border. You can also get a sequins blouse to go with this. Every woman should have a black, silver and a golden sequins blouse in her wardrobe. These can be paired with multiple sarees and they transform the look completely.
