"We&amp;#x27;re just hours from the dropping of the ball, the scarfing of the last bite of dessert (EVER!), the last lazy, workout-less Friday (EVER!), and hopefully, a sweet smooch to welcome in the new year. So what are you going to wear? We&amp;#x27;ve got an awesome DIY idea, courtesy of a super-chic reader! Indiana has wowed us with her DIY skills before--back in September, she turned a bridal jacket fiasco into a Stella McCartney-inspired work of art--and now she&amp;#x27;s back at it with a studded blazer that screams &amp;quot;Welcome, 2010!&amp;quot; Want even more awesome DIY ideas sent straight to your inbox? You got it! &amp;quot;Here was my dilemma,&amp;quot; Indiana told us. &amp;quot;I could either get a Christmas present for my husband or I could buy this season&amp;#x27;s must have: a fitted, studded blazer that I just could not stop thinking about. I don&amp;#x27;t know how to sew, and I don&amp;#x27;t consider myself to be particularly crafty [EDITOR&amp;#x27;S NOTE: UM, WE BEG TO DIFFER!], but the ease and allure of this project kept dancing through my head. I finally ordered some $6 pyramid studs from eBay and found a fully lined $6 blazer at the thrift store. I spent an additional $2 on an ice pick (to poke holes for the studs through my well endowed shoulder pads), and voila! I saved myself becoup bucks. Now I get to buy a present for my husband AND have my studded blazer.&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;ve dabbled in a little DIY myself (destroying my own jeans and giving an ugly old dress a little hemline facelift), but Indiana has totally inspired me to take on more of these types of projects--isn&amp;#x27;t she awesome? You can get the step-by-step tutorial at her blog, Adored Austin, right now. Toss it on with a pair of skinny jeans or a hot little miniskirt, and you&amp;#x27;ve got your New Year&amp;#x27;s Eve outfit! What do you think, ladies? Are you completely impressed with Indiana&amp;#x27;s DIY skills? Do you have a studded blazer? Are you tempted to try making your own? Discuss!
