2 Easy DIY Jeans to Belts + 1 Surprise Twist!

[@louiscisse]

OH. MY. GOD!!! I had no clue what that little spring on the back of my machine foot was for! Thanks so much for that tip I know it’ll help a ton

[@BlueprintDIY]

Of course! I knew what it was for, but this was my first time using it. I don’t know what took me so long.

[@themajesticwierdo2193]

Same! I had no idea that's what it's for lol

[@truevineproduction3013]

Me neither! I'll be using it more often

5:40 “I like anything hanging down “ 😅😂… I must have listen to that five times😂😂😂

Standing ovation for such a magical creation. My jaw literally dropped when I saw you converted the belt into a top. PURE GENIUS! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks so much! 🙏🏾🥰

Literally.🙏🏽🥲

[@droosyg252]

Super creative! I LOVE the dual purpose belt/vest!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@TheNancy5000]

I agree! What about accessories for the belt loops? Like tassels made of denim that can be hooked on? Great piece!

[@LouisiannaInez]

Lady, lady, lady! You put it perfectly, for what it is the end results are phenomenal. You just upped the entire game, the result is astounding and your styling is soooo on point, I got tingles! Always love your creations but this is next level, you should be buzzing with pride. Thank you 🤯👏 👏 🤗

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!!

[@sampleworks9432]

Well! First, it was a three snort 🤣 video (things hanging down…pause), second, I did not know what that black button did on the foot (today years old learning that 🤓) and then seeing the twist and using it as a top 🤯 (a mic drop moment,) as always, you are ahhhsome and amazing❣️

[@empressnoel1661]

After watching the reveal a second time, I saw it would be super easy to use off cuts from my scrap stash creat a welt pocket utilizing the back of the original pockets adding a pocket piece to make it functional in both directions. You could do all kinds of creative welts, thinking faux leather, cute ruffle or even ribbon to geometric shapes. Again thank you this has my brain exploding lol It also came at a perfect time, my sew jo has taken a vacation for far to long! 🧐🤓🥳

[@BlueprintDIY]

That’s a great fix because it was really bothering me. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@mone1648]

your creativity is soo much bigger than the most of us. I like how you go through this world with eyes wide open 👁️🤓🙌🏼

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏾

[@empressnoel1661]

OH SNAP!!!! Absolutely love both of these, but the vest....are you kidding me! You have outdone yourself yet again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏾

[@rhiannoncameron7165]

I need a sewing machine and some talent asap that second belt is amazing!!!

[@LaineyBug2020]

The first one would look great on top of that blue and green layered ruffle skirt, and the top version of the second would look great with just a sports bra, maybe a lacey demi bra! I loved them!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Oh yeah! Thanks!

[@moirokonchellah4164]

I literally hollered at 10:29! Was Not expecting that at all. Perfection!

I just made the second ones with black jeans and I am in Love!!! They’re so multi-purpose, I’ve never tried different styles so fast, with blazers, a dress 😍 I don’t have a sew machine yet so I used hemming tape and it’s incredible, thanks so much for the inspo!! 💖

Yesss! I love that you used hem tape and didn’t let the sewing aspect stop you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@MsAntoniaNY]

As soon as you cut out #2, I said that would be a cute top!!! I LOST it when I saw you flip it, like I was watching some sporting event! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved both but #2 is EVERYTHING!!! Going to try both! Love your channel!!!

I sure hope your daughter will appreciate your skill set in the next few years! She could have her own unique style sans Blueprint DIY! I may try that 2nd 1 but use a men's shirt as a mid length skirt, attached by those cool loops. Why is my pile of projects & your saved videos growing so much???

[@BlueprintDIY]

🤭 I’m sorry. You guys keep my list long too! Yes, my tries to get me to make things for her from time to time.

[@MiiDione]

I never knew what that springy action part on the foot was for!!!! Thank you so much! And, the belts are wonderful!!!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@doreenbrown6313]

Hi Angelina, another great project. Tip, use your zipper foot on your machine to install the “d” ring. Much easier!

[@BlueprintDIY]

I normally do, but the zipper foot for the Bernette is STUPID. 😆 It’s completely unhelpful even for zippers.

[@velornacurtis4790]

I absolutely love this!!!! I was talking to the tv with excitement, lol! You did that!!!! 💪🏾❤️❤️❤️

That denim garter to vest is sooo swankk

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks ☺️

[@Lynniescorner]

Hi, Angelina. Several things. First wonderful great idea! I've been stewing on this for a few months. I seriously don't know which I like better. The no-sew looked simple and clean. I loved how it looked on you. Perhaps more on the dressy side of things. The other one is FUN! it's a whole different feel. So I suppose it would come down to my mood. Second, I have to walk with a walker. I need to keep my phone with me as, at the moment, my asthma is rearing it's nasty head. I was thinking that not only does this belt have a fashion purpose but it can have a practical one also. My walker doesn't fit in my bathroom, so I can't put it (my phone) in the seat compartment. This belt would be a great idea. Fashion forward, yet useful!

[@BlueprintDIY]

I love that idea! 🙌🏾 I’m all for function too.

[@tawandawalker8987]

The upside down denim belt was fire

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@gotlhemopipi239]

hands down the best twist,i got goose bumps...totally going to try it out

[@BlueprintDIY]

🤭 Thanks so much!

[@deniseoates7147]

Woke up this morning and the first thing I thought about, is grabbing my laptop and hanging out with Angelina and see what awesomeness she was serving. That no sew is a life! I have thrifted some very very miniskirts (to use as a layering piece) that this would probably work really well for this project (the problem, I would have to cut them. Da da da 😯✂). You do like the biker vibe of having things hanging but I understand because it such an eye-catching vibe. WTFudge! It can turn into a vest? I got to see that in slow motion.🤦‍♀ Other than having a large chest, I am a no waist figure, straight up and down. Therefore, a major belt lover and fell in love with the Lowe belt when I first saw it on youtube. So, I am so into the harness/belts, but this has always been the case since I had to use them to bring in the waist for garments that I always had to buy larger to compensate for a very large chest. My favorite of course is the D ring but it a project above my grade level and the converting into a vest might not work for a larger chest. It just so freaking cool! Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks for hanging out with me first thing! I feel so special 🥰 Yes, take a crack at the no-sew for sure.

[@chiara3473]

Ancora non capisco come tu non abbia 1 milione di followers! stupendaaaaaa i love It!!
