Have you ever opened your kid’s wardrobe and found only the same old outfits staring at you? However, you just need to be a little creative to jazz up your little one’s wardrobe. From using fabric patches to tie and dying, there are endless ideas to transform the basics—old tees and jeans—into statement pieces.

Read below this interesting article to explore some of the most unique and fun ideas you can enjoy doing with your kids to get creative with their styling.

DIY Fabric T-Shirts

Start by cutting out different-shaped patches, such as hearts and stars, from fabric scrap. Now, take a basic t-shirt and sew or glue the patches onto it. You can even ask your kid about their favorite shapes and give a personalized touch to their t-shirts using them.

Tie and Dye Clothing

Tie and dye is another fun DIY idea when it comes to giving a unique touch to clothing. Gather a tee or a dress and tie using rubber bands for desired patterns, such as a spiral or crumple. Now take your favorite fabric dye and soak the tied-up clothing in it. Let it dry completely, and your unique wardrobe addition is all set to be worn.

DIY embroidered denim jackets

If you have a love for trying out unique denim designs, you will surely love this idea for your kids. You will only need a basic denim jacket and embroidery threads in your favorite colors. Now, get creative by using embroidery stitches to create fun designs, such as flowers, geometric shapes, and cartoon characters, on the jacket. Your personalized, embroidered denim jacket is ready.

DIY Canvas Sneakers

Have you found some old pairs of canvas sneakers in your kids’ wardrobe? It’s time to give them a new look. Use fabric paints to paint cartoon characters, abstract art, or patterns on the shoes with bright colors, and seal the design using fabric sealant for better results.

Patchwork Jeans

Collect some old clothing with unique patterns and cut them into little patches. Now take your kids’ old denim and stick the patches on it using fabric glue. Give a funky look to the jeans by trying some unique color combinations.

Personalized Hoodies

For this, you will need iron-on transfer sheets in your little one’s favorite designs. Now, simply print some personalized quotes using a printer and print them on the hoodie using iron.

Trimmed Tees

It is one of the easiest DIY ideas to try. Start by cutting slits on the hem of the tees and giving a little pull to each of the slits to turn them into fringes. And tie knots at the end of each fringe. For an extra flair to the tee, you can even add some colored beads to each of the fringes.

Personalized baseball caps

Bored of the plain baseball caps? Give it a customized look by using fabric paint to design the caps with your kids’ favorite logo, name, or pattern. You can even encourage your child to get creative together and help you paint their favorite design onto the caps.
