Dazzling legs are only a quick fix away! Get your sawing kit out and have fun creating your very own masterpiece.

Embellished Tights

What you'll need:
Black or nude nylon tights (50 or 70 denier will work best!)
Sequins and beads
Hot glue gun
Thin cardboard to put inside the tights as you work
1. Cut the insert board into a rounded rectangle to fit into the tights. This prevents the hot glue from sticking the tights together.
2. Lay out the sequins or beads in your preferred pattern
3. Dot hot glue onto the center of each sequin, then gently but firmly place on tights.
4. Loosen the cardboard off the embellishments once the glue dries.
5. Go out and show off your work of art!
