MY DIY | Gem Embellished Sweatshirt
The goal was to take yesterday's inspiration and turn an everyday article of clothing into a fancy one. There has been a resurgence of the dress up sweatshirts (I love how Karla and Blair did it) and this is my spin on the trend. Don't be intimidated by the sewing, it only took two episodes of Friends to complete :)
Supplies: Sweatshirt (bought mine at Old Navy) Sew-on gems (options from M&J Trimming here and here) E600 glue Needle and thread
Steps: 1. First, lay out your gems in the the desired pattern surrounding the neckline of your sweatshirt. 2. Next put a dab of glue under each gem, and glue in place, this will ensure that the pattern is correct when sewing. 3. Let dry for an hour 4. Secure each gem to the sweatshirt by stitching through each hole, onto the sweatshirt. I sewed on each gem and knotted on the inside of the sweatshirt to make sure each gem stays in place!
