Decorating homemade sweatshirts.
If you have kids and you need a fun craft project, consider decorating homemade sweatshirts. This activity is ideal for rainy days, birthday parties or any time you are looking for a memorable project. The great thing about decorating sweatshirts is that you are creating something that you can wear in the future. Each sweatshirt is distinctive and will help children or adults to showcase their own creativity.
Instructions
1. Take a clean sweatshirt and lie it flat across a table.
2. Pick a general theme for your sweatshirt. Choose fabric with fun shapes: images of fall leaves, Christmas ornaments or other objects. The shapes will help to define the concept for your sweatshirt.
3. Cut out shapes from the fabric. After cutting out the shapes, flip them over and place them on the table. Apply glue and affix them onto the front of the sweatshirt using fabric glue. Press the shapes down firmly so they dry flat. Allow them to dry for several hours.
4. Outline the object with gold or silver puff paint to make it stand out on the sweatshirt. Add some extra touches to the shirt to make it special. Consider writing your name or something else creative. If you do not want to use the fabric cut-outs at all, you can simply use the puff paint alone to decorate the sweathshirt.
5. Paint on items like stars, flowers or abstract designs. Use tiny paint brushes for adding precise details to your sweatshirt. Affix plastic jewels with the glue if desired.
