Where to Get the Trims?

As Elsie and Emma said it on their blog “Cheers to doin’-it-yourself, always learning, trying, failing, dreaming big, enjoying the small stuff, and above all else…embracing imperfection. Life is better when it’s a little bit messy.”

But now that you’ve got the “How to” from the fashion DIY blogs, what about the “Where from?”

In every fashion hub, there are a few places to snag your needs from…but for many of us, that’s not the case. There is hope. Sites like Josy Rose make it really easy for you to get all your DIY needs all in one place.
