At one point or another, just about everybody has probably owned a jean jacket. Is yours plain and boring? Dress it up with some safety pin feathers! On his YouTube channel, Mark Montano demonstrates how to use a whole bunch of pins to make a pretty design with a sophisticated-yet-punk-rock edge. Don’t have a jean jacket? Add safety pin feathers to backpacks, shirts, wall hangings, or anywhere that you think you could use a little low-cost bling! [how to make safety pin feathers]

Project estimate:

• Jacket or other clothing item, on hand or $1 and up
• Safety pins, on hand or $1 and up
• Rhinestone trim, about $2 and up
• Glue, on hand

Total: about $2 and up
