Welcome to another series of Looking Lovely on Less! When I’m not creating Eye Candy for my shop,
I’m attempting to refashion clothes for myself and our M&M girls. A huge drawback tho is I am not a seamstress. I’m pretty sure I could sew a button onto a shirt if I “had” to, but don’t bet on it (wink wink). I came across the graphic tee below and fell in love….
I’m attempting to refashion clothes for myself and our M&M girls. A huge drawback tho is I am not a seamstress. I’m pretty sure I could sew a button onto a shirt if I “had” to, but don’t bet on it (wink wink). I came across the graphic tee below and fell in love….
With a price tag of $34.90, I couldn’t justify buying
it, so I thought I’d try to make a similar one. With the help of one of my BFF’s a.k.a. Aleene’s Fabric Fusion, I did just that! Let’s get this party started!
 |
| Gather your Supplies: Article of Clothing (in my case a tank top), Fabric Fusion (Aleene’s), A roll of sequins (I used single strand for this shirt), and cardboard |
 |
| Start off by placing the cardboard inside your article of clothing. This will keep the glue from leaking onto the other side while you work. |
 |
| Next freehand a design onto your clothing. In this case I started with the letter L. |
 |
| Press the sequins into the glue, following the pattern to shape out the design. |
 |
| I did one letter at a time, and it worked great. If you mess up, or don’t like it, just remove and start over. Dab the area that had the glue on it with a dry washcloth to remove the glue and start again. The glue is forgiving and dries on clear, and all the white flakes left from the glue will wash off. |
 |
| Keep going till you’re completely finished! Tada! The finished product. Allow to dry per package instructions. |
I promise this is super easy! Try it, but be warned, you’ll be addicted (wink wink). Check out how I used the same idea for one of my little girls here.
