By Celia Hall


Getting the children ready for school these days can involve a few clashes when fashion is involved. Children of all ages are influences by the days fashions and even the young ones want to look extra special. There are many ways to creatively make little girls skirts look great.

In the economic climate of today, many people are tightening their belts. This means cutting down on expenses like clothing. If you are a parent, you can make clothes shopping fit into your budget by taking the time to get those creative juices up and running. There are numerous patterns that are simple enough for novices to use. With a small amount of effort, you could effortlessly make great unique items for your girls.

When in doubt- add shiny embellishments. Any tedious piece of clothing can be revitalized with embellishments, rhinestones, beads or studs. They are easily available at most arts and craft stores. They can be purchased individually and attached later to make your items more interesting. Handheld machines that can attach these are sold in these stores too. It would be a great investment because you'll use in over and over, making those great designs.

Where you can, use ribbons. Ribbons aren't just a great hair accessory; they can be used to change the look of an item. A large ribbon can be used as a sash or belt on the top of a skirt. Alternatively, multiple color ribbons could be stuck onto the material with fabric glue or sewn on in a variety of different shapes and patterns; instantly, making the skirt look new and different. On top of that, ribbons themselves come in a variety of textures and colors.

Cartoon characters are a great hit with children, from toys to clothes too. However, they are known to be very expensive. Thankfully, iron on cartoon characters can be purchased to help you out. An ordinary, plain skirt can be transformed into a trendy item by ironing on cartoon characters. These iron-on embellishments are also available in different types of beading or sequined fabric to make your skirt dazzle.

All kids like a good party dress that will have them looking and feeling like a princess. The best way to do this is by creating more volume in the girls skirt. This could be done by using an old tutu or attaching different colored materials to the bottom of the dress or skirt. This gives you a nice trendy feeling to the dress. With all these options available to you, you can think big and way out of the box.

These enhancements are easy enough to be made by girls themselves. So, get them involved in this process. It is a great way to get them creatively involved in making their own clothes and creating their own interesting designs. On top of that, it's a great distraction from TV or the internet.

So, the next time you're thinking of heading off to the mall for more kids clothing, rather get creative at home and work with what you already have. You'll find that the various arts and craft shops have many items that will jolt your imagination and have you making designer little girls skirts in no time at all.
