Anne, once again a GREAT tute! Definitely going to make me one of these!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much!:)
DeleteI LOVE your Blog. your DIY are so Great. I will be attempting to make this sweatshirt today!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteApril Thank you so much. I would love to see when you are done.:)
DeleteI've been following your blog for some weeks now and this night I took a peek... My 7 year old girl saw this new shirt with the glittering heart. Can you guess what happened?! Yep, right! "Please, mommy, can you make me that?" (but in Dutch, haha) ;D
ReplyDeleteSo, I think this is going to be my first actual attempt to make one of your nice ideas with Valentine's Day coming up ;)
That is so awesome, thank you so much Corine!:)
DeleteLove your heart themed restyles and DIY jewelry. This heart would be cute with or without the glitter - so many options. The stud detail is also nice besides being a time saver. I posted the top photo and a link back to you on truebluemeandyou on Tumblr.
ReplyDeleteSuper Cute!!! If I can find a sweater like this I am definitely going to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteI have never worked with glitter before - sounds a little messy haha.
Glitter does require a little extra clean up, but it is so worth it.
DeleteThis is so pretty. Have to try it.
ReplyDeleteVanessa
Thank you Vanessa:)
DeleteThis is so cute, Anne.
ReplyDeleteThank you Abby.:)
DeleteI love this and have starting making it myself. A couple of questions, about how big is your heart, and can you mix the glitter with the glue and paint it on? I have used that method with regular modge podge and it works, but I've never worked with fabric and glitter.
ReplyDeleteYes..You can mix the two as long as you use a fabric glue, it and a fabric paint it should work just fine. The heart was made with just a regular piece of paper folded in half and then cut in the shape of a heart.:)<3
DeleteThis is super cute! Definitely going to make it with my niece for Vday:)
ReplyDeleteQuick question, how long did you have to wait for the glue/glitter to dry before repeating the process?
I waited about 3 to 4 hours. before I put on my second coat.
DeleteThis is super cute, My 6 yr old daughter saw me looking at it and begged for it. Now I'm going to have to make us both one lol. Can you tell me exactly what you did to the sleeves too? Your amazing and thank you!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sorry I forgot to put that in the instructions. I just cut them off and rolled them up.:) Thank you so much. I would love to see when you are done..
DeleteSo I made this yesterday and I was wondering if you have ever tried to set the glitter so it doesn't shed off? I read online about putting a clear varnish spray over it, but I am hesitant and I wanted to check and see if you have ever done a finish over any of your glitter cloths projects.
ReplyDeleteHey Jeanette I did a post just yesterday about this very thing. I hope this helps It gives you a few tips, I also share you a few things I have learned about glittering fabric over the last few years.:) Thank you for the wonderful question:)

You need the studs for heming the collar right?
ReplyDeleteYes. If you do not want to sew it, it is on of the best ways to keep the seams from unraveling.:)
DeleteDid this, love it:)

Awesome:)
DeleteIs it okay to use a different kind of glue? :)
ReplyDeleteThe best glue would be Mod Podge Fabric Glue or any fabric glue.
