DIY Peplum Projects are here to give you a taste of this spring and summer trend without spending a lot. In fact, you can make most of these **DIY peplum projects** without buying "new" materials. I don't know about you but that's my kind of DIY refashion. Let's take a look at these fun and **pretty peplum fashion projects**, shall we? ## 1. Anthropologie-Inspired _ There is a skirt like this sold by Anthropologie. It costs more than $250. But why buy when you can make your version of this pretty peplum piece? In fact, you can do what Sarah did and make your peplum skirt out of a pencil skirt that cost $2.50. Tutorial_ ## 2. Lacy Curtain ![Lacy Curtain](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/fashion/2012/05/22_750x520.jpg) Yes, this peplum skirt was made of a curtain panel with a skirted top. Awesome, yes? I like the lacy details of this easy-to-make skirt. I don't know about the back pins but they sure add character to this pretty **DIY peplum** piece.

Peplum Shirt ![Peplum Shirt](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/fashion/2012/05/33_640x461.jpg) If the idea of a peplum skirt is not to your liking, you can give this shirt version a go. I love this particular **DIY peplum project** because it's a great way to refashion two plain shirts. You will need two to make this skirt: one fitted and one large. The larger one is for making the peplum detail of your new pretty top. [Tutorial](https://lovemaegan.com/) ## 4. Removable Peplum ![Removable Peplum](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/fashion/2012/05/45_300x218.jpg) This is a great **DIY peplum project** for those who like having versatile and flexible pieces in their wardrobe. This is also fantastic if you want to give several pencil skirts a summer-appropriate update without changing them permanently.

Also: don't you just love hot glue? Check out Natasha's blog now to see how she constructed this removable no-sew peplum. Now don't worry if you don't have a leather skirt to use this peplum with; you can easily use real fabric to make your removable peplum. [Tutorial](https://goo.gl/7j5SXk) ## 6. Cardigan Refashion ![Cardigan Refashion](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/fashion/2012/05/63_640x494.jpg) How pretty is this orange cardigan? I don't know what detail I love best: the braided trim or the dainty peplum. If you check out Kathleen's blog, you will see that the original sweater wasn't too pretty. But with a dash of creativity and accidental trend forecast (she made this in 2010!), she was able to make the cardigan look positively lovely.

Printed Skirt ![Printed Skirt](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/fashion/2012/05/74_640x402.jpg) Most of the **DIY peplum projects** we have featured above are of the plain or single-color variety. For an added touch of summer, you can use printed fabric to make your peplum skirt. This beach-themed piece is a great example. Methinks any floral fabric will do, too.

If one of these dresses happen to have a fitted or elasticized waistline, you have got yourself a perfect base for a trendy peplum top. You simply cut off the dress, sew the hem, and yes, you're done. [Tutorial](http://www.lulus.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Ready to take a plunge into these **DIY peplum projects**?
