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!

-Cut the cups of the bra leaving the wire
-Cut the piece that should be tied to straps
-You should get something like this: it's the base!
Now mix the vinyl glue with some glitter (not too much!)
-With a brush, spread the glue on your base Be messy! It doesn't matter if you're not much careful.
-Cover your base with glitter
-Remove the excess
-Then, cover again your base
-Repeat these steps until the glitter will be spread smoothly
-Gently remove some glitter with a toothpick
-Hot Glue your sequins (I took them from a broken bracelet) trying to create a pattern
-Hairspray to fix the glitter
-Hot Glue the fringe
-Hot glue the gold chain and finally add the chord
-Fill the empty spaces with glue and glitter Hairspray again! Leave it to dry at least for 24 hours. You're almost done!
-Attache the adhesive strap under your cup and on your jacket Sew it if needed. Yeeeees! You made it!
