Four fun ways to create a Pride parade look for less

FLY the Pride flag by creating show-stopping outfits for this summer's events. The London parade takes place today, and you can wear your heart — or rainbow — on your sleeve at many regional events. Over-the-top outfits don't need to come with an excessive price tag, though. Here's how to make your own for less. TO DYE FOR: The individuality of tie-dyed clothes is perfect for Pride. Every item you create is unique and special. The colourful clothing can also reflect the different colours of the rainbow flag. A T-shirt is the obvious place to start, but you can also tie-dye socks, trousers and even trainers. Take a look at the 'ideas' tab at FLAG IT UP: Get yourself a specific Pride flag — different movements have their own — or use a giant rainbow flag. You can buy one measuring 9ft by 6ft from for £3.99. You could even make a cross-neck dress by wrapping the flag horizontally across your body, keeping the ends in front of you. The price of designer bags has become obscene so I'm flogging mine & buying dupes - I'll save over NINE GRAND Pull the top ends together, crossing them below your throat, and tie them behind your neck. PAINT-HEARTED: Give your inner artist free rein with a set of inexpensive fabric paints and a white T-shirt. First, wash the top without fabric softener. Once it's dry and ironed, place a piece of cardboard underneath or between the fabric layers to stop the paint bleeding through. Draw freehand or round a printable stencil to get an individual, eye-catching design. Paint rainbow hearts, personal slogans or the colours of the community you want to celebrate. DRESS TO EXCESS: Body glitter, colourful feathers and glittering jewel-coloured fairy lights will all give your outfit the edge. Use mesh, sheer fabrics and rainbow tights to build bold, fun outfits. Add iron-on Pride patches, such as hearts, logos and rainbows. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.
