Make your own shoulder pads, no sewing!

Yesterday I found these pair of shoulder pads from Pinko and I got inspired to make them myself.
Of course my try is way different from the Pinko one, but I have to say that, even if I usually don't like sequined things and glitter, I really like the final result. As you can see they're a bit excessive, so I think I won't use them everytime, but according to me they're perfect for parties.
You can use them on jacket, blazer or to add a unique touch on your top. Hope you like it!
