Excerpted from Embellish Chic Embellish Chic: Hardware Zipper teeth, grommets, and eyelets give garments an urban edge
In Connie Long's new book, Embellish Chic, Connie provides step-by-step instructions for traditional and contemporary embellishment techniques you can use to personalize and enhance plain, ready-to-wear garments. In this excerpt, Connie describes some unconventional uses for zipper teeth, grommets, and eyelets. Easy-to-find metal embellishments such as zippers, grommets, and nail heads are fun to use because the results can be so varied. Although these embellishments are typically associated with biker-chick and punk accessories, you can also use metal accents to make basic garments more individual and to counterbalance soft-and-sweet or ladylike garments with an urban edge.
