Five original ways to dress up a Fall beret!

The easiest, least expensive way to dress up a Fall outfit is with a beret! Below are five artistic ways to make your beret....YOURS!

1) Purchase some colorful beads and stitch them into a decorative, abstract design.Your imagination is your only limitation!

2) Handstitch your name or a familiar saying on your beret! Tell the world how you feel about a particular current event, family member or pop idol!

3) Buy a Bedazzler and add studs. For a classy look, use pearl or rhinestone studs. Want to be a little "laid-back"? Use stars or hearts. Bedazzler is a stud machine that's an economical choice for an upgrade- it's only $19.95!

4) Cut out the top of your plain beret and sew in a colorful patterned fabric! For instance, purchase a plain brown beret, cut out the top. Make a run to your local fabric store and purchase a yard of African  Brown Mudcloth( exhibits a very vibrant print). You can bet, you'll have a Fall original!

5) Visit different thrift shops for unusual vintage buttons! Sew a few around the edge of your beret for a classic look.


The chill in the air, says it's time to cover up! Make that "cover-up" completely YOURS...let your Fall beret make a creative statement!
