We all own a bunch of plain blouses that we’re just not that into anymore because fashion trends and needs are ever changing. Even if you don’t own any, you could always buy a few and customize a fabulous DIY designer blouse according to your own taste and style. Doing it at home by yourself is also way cheaper as opposed to getting it done from a boutique. Plus you get to take full credit for it when someone asks you where you bought it! So here are 8 fantastic ideas for DIY saree blouse designs to jazz up all your plain and boring blouses.
1. Add Applique Motifs
Iron-on patches are embroidered designs with an adhesive at the back, which glues itself on to any fabric when heat is applied. They come in different motifs and are easily available in the market. You could find just about any shape, size, embellishment or color that you’re looking for. You can either get one that matches your blouse or something in a contrasting color to make it pop. These look great especially at the back but can also be done on sleeves.
