DIY Projects For Quarantine To Try If You Love Fashion

As you remain in quarantine, having already shopped for a new wardrobe online, finished 101 puzzles, and learned how to bake bread like a pro, designers are helping out by inspiring a little bit of extra creativity, offering up projects that will keep you busy while at home all day.

From craft kits for creating your own necklaces and bracelets to downloadable coloring books featuring their sketches, brands are inspiring you to unleash your inner artist or at least tap in your super creative 5-year-old inner child.

Ahead, find the growing list of all fashion brands who are helping you pass the time a little more whimsically during quarantine.

Iris Apfel:

Style icon and queen Iris Apfel is well known for her more-is-more, whimsical and eclectic fashion sense. As the world looks for new projects to occupy their quarantine time, Apfel has released a coloring book, titled “Iris: The Coloring Book” in partnership with the University of Texas, where she has been a guest professor for some time for the University’s Textile and Apparel Program.

Alexander McQueen:

Alexander McQueen is encouraging all of their followers’ creativity with a weekly sketching competition by which you sketch your favorite piece inspired by a selection of shared images and then tag their social media account as well as #McQueenCreators. And perhaps, you’ll even be inspired to sew it and bring it to life.

Roxanne Assoulin:

Roxanne Assoulin has released a DIY bead kit so that you can get your own, custom, colorful necklace or bracelet at home. It’s basically like your beading projects from childhood—but actually chic. And it’s already a hit: every fashion girl is already busy creating from the kit on Instagram!
