I’m a huge fan of Urban Outfitters, especially their fall and winter apparel! The coats, sweaters, scarves, gloves and beanies are perfect. However, there are some things that I see  and know I could easily replicate it at home with a lot less money. With the cold weather flushing in and out I’m in the peppermint mocha with skim milk, half shot of mocha, half shot of peppermint hold the whip and chestnuts roasting on an open fire spirit ( ya I don’t think I’ve ever done the whole chestnuts thing, but it makes for good imagery)….

….which is why I loveeee the U.O Marled Fingerless Gloves . They even have an adorable suede palm patch! But even with the  palm patch I’m not going to spend $24.00 on them!

Want to  make’em at a fraction of the price?.

Things you need:

• Polyester or acrylic gloves from Goodwill
• Scissors
• Lighter
• Optional: set of elbow patches, needle and thread

Steps:

1. Cut the fingers down to about 1.5in-2.5in based on your preference

2. Break out the lighter! If you’re younger than 18 ask your parents for permission and guidance. Sear the edges of the fresh cut fingers to ensure that the material doesn’t unravel.

To get the U.O  look:

Cut the suede elbow patches out to fit the palm portion of the gloves. Sew on. You’re finished and just in time to grab a hot coco  with those new gloves of yours!
