This DIY shoulder accessory was inspired by PS I made it

Need:

Shoulder pads–

Feathers — Peacock and Black is what I used.

Metallic Fabric Paint (I used Lumiere by Jacquard in Pearl Turquoise– and I LOVE this color.)

Gems

Rosette Trim (optional) I had a very hard time finding any thing sim i lar in stores that the orig i nal had, so I bought wed ding flo­ral picks and had intended to cut off the stem and glue the base down. But I ended up not using them because they didn’t look right.

Safety Pins

Glue Gun

Simple tee shirt

    Secure pads to shirt with safety pins.

    *Could also use velcro or snaps if you wanted to sew them on to the shirt AND on to the pads.

    This is how I wore it.

    Don't make the outfit to fussy. Let the shirt do the talking.
