DIY Boho Chic Blouses Guide for the Ultimate Bohemian Look

If you’re like some of the more creative girls out there, then you’ve probably experimented or at least been interested in this look that’s been around since the 60’s—the boho look.

But looking boho chic isn’t easy. It’s not about getting boho chic blouses and boho tunic tops from mainstream designers. Looking truly bohemian requires a genuine look. If you’re pressed for time and can’t make your own looks yourself, then try buying from people who create their boho chic pieces as real artists. Brands like Johnny Was, who sell boho chic tunics and blouses, should be looked out for. Consider hand-embellished and painted pieces, maybe even material that is sourced ethically.

However if you really want a unique boho look, then maybe you should DIY. With these tips, you’ll learn how to make your own boho tunic tops, boho blouses, hoodies and outerwear—without even sewing…yet. If afterwards you start trying to learn how to sew, just have fun with it! The beauty of DIY is you just want to create everything from scratch, so just go with it.

To begin making your boho tops and tunics, try looking for any old clothes you have that are flowy, oversized—try old dresses, t-shirts, or blouses. When you’ve determined the clothes you want to alter, check to see if you can cut them the way you want it to fit, or how else you can make it look bohemian. Look to brands like Johnny Was and similar clothing lines for inspiration on how to cut these clothes.
Gather materials—beads, feathers, and even thread itself can be used to give a boho chic silhouette. Try embellishing—it’s tedious work, but very easy once you get the hang of it. It’s just randomly attaching beads or feathers on a pattern, say the hem or bottom of the top, or the neckline. Continue until you get your desired result.
Lastly, you can handpaint your pieces—check out sites on the internet to get inspiration, or if you have the hand for it, try painting patterns, like flowers, leaves, geometric patterns and such on your garment. Make sure you try to draw out your design first so it’s clear how it will look like to you.

If you take these tips out for a spin, you’re sure to look different and chic, like a true blue boho. Boho chic blouses are good but even better if you create your own.
