1. Bralette

Let's start with the very beginning! No flapper look would be complete without some absolutely feminine and gorgeous '20s inspired lingerie beneath the surface! If you are a whiz at the sewing machine, and have some lacy fabric on hand, you can easily recreate this timeless, sexy look!

2. Fleece Headband

To complete a DIY flapper look, you may want to include this wide fleece headband. This is fantastic if your part of the world happens to be quite cold for going out without ear protection. Design variation: use shiny silk for the base of the headband, instead of fleece.

How cute is this? This is a great flapper fashion DIY project if you are about to attend a Roaring '20s party or you simply feel like adding a vintage-inspired dress to your wardrobe. You might think that this is too costume-y but with just the right amount of confidence, you can wear a dress like this for going out and about.

4. Daisy Headband

Do you remember Daisy Buchanan's absolutely stunning diamond headband in the movie? Well, in real life that beauty costs around 200,000 dollars. But if, for some strange reason, that price is a little bit out of your budget, you can always recreate the look yourself!

6. Scarf to Dress

Can you believe that this dress is made of a scarf? If you can find a wonderfully lacy and fringed scarf, pick some up and turn it into a dress. What Laura did was sew the sides and the shoulders, with the fringe details adorning the hem. Pretty!

This flower clip is all sorts of pretty. I love the peach faux flower that AshleyAnn used. I also love the fact that you can be very creative with making your flower clip. You can use different-colored lace or feathers, beads, and other embellishments.

One recognizable fashion staple of the '20s is the fringe dress. To make your own, you will need a black slip dress, a few meters of fringe, and a sewing machine.

11. Feather Skirt

If you think a fringe dress is too dated, you can make a skirt instead. This is ideal for those who like to pepper their modern outfits with little details reminiscent of the past decades.
