Off the Shoulder Sweatshirt: DIY.




Inspiration


Tutorial
Things you need
  1. Sweatshirt ~mine is a mens medium~
  2. Scissors
  3. Paint Pens
  4. Pencil
  5. Paint brush 




 I cut around the collar about an inch down from the seam.
 cut the collar out
 Sketch a pattern in pencil
 Go over your pencil with your paint pen

 I smoothed it out with my paint brush,
then I sprinkled the wet paint with glitter.
 let that dry,
then shake off the glitter.
cut out leaf shapes in the middle of your pattern,

 I cut one leaf shape, on the bottom side of the shirt.





My Hannah has stolen my sweatshirt:)
 I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.
I have a super busy week,
 so I am doing projects on the fly.:)
Lots of <3,
Anne

  5. Oh Anne, this is sooo pretty! But I know if I attempted it it would not turn out 1/2 as nice! You have such a great eye for design and you free-hand draw so well. Me?? I can do a stick figure! Pretty flowers, not so much! BUT b/c I love it so much I just may give it a go...and live with whatever it turns out looking like....thanks for the inspiration!!

    1. I wash my stuff on gentle cycle and hang it dry. Sometimes if you mix the paint and the glitter together it forms a better, long lasting bond. and Sometimes i have to re-glitter.:) I hope this helps

  9. I was thinking of using just acrylic paint. Would that just wash off?

    1. No it would not wash off. it just is a little more stiff the fabric paint:)
