DIY fashion
As a teenager I went to the Venice Carnival. I made a mask out of a paper plate, got a metal coathanger and bent it into horns around my head and draped a black tshirt over that. At the time I thought I looked really cool, but thinking it over...

Right, let's think
Firstly I have a pair of Fozzie Bear lace clips, small devices that are shaped like a face and "bite" onto tied laces to stop them coming undone. They're designed to stop small children undoing their shoes, but I deem them perfectly fit for my twenty year old self.
Secondly, when I was a bit younger I had a necklace I had made myself. J17 magazine had these supposedly fortune telling pendants free with one issue, and a load of my friends on a bus on a school trip made me go into the services and buy a load of them. Good job I didn't really care as the shame of approaching the checkout with an armful of girl's magazines isn't something everyone can live down, especially a boy in his mid teens. I decided that since everyone had one that mine was no longer original enough and proceeded to make a chain for it out of an old dog lead. The entire thing was held together with a keyring. The chain rusted but I keep meaning to get down to a DIY store and buy a new, waterproof one.
Also, if we are also including halloween costumes, I am quite proud of my homemade Ghostbusters costume, complete with fifteen year old children's toy proton pack and ghost trap. That's made quite a few experiences. I think I have some pictures somewhere and if anyone wants a goosey then I might post them.
