DIY ROSE EMBROIDERED GRAPHIC SWEATSHIRT




Hey guys, I thought I would share an easy and affordable way to achieve that embroidery trend. It is soooo easy and sometimes I think you can start to look a little cheap with DIY clothing items, but this one is really basic and I honestly think it looks like you bought it this way! I wanted to pick a piece of clothing in my closet that I already had to keep it even more affordable. Make sure whatever you are choosing is something that you love the fit of--I think this is really important because if you don't like the piece plain, I don't think you will wear it that often with the rose detail. I really want to do this to a pair of jean shorts or just jean pants too. Like usual, I will include some ready to purchase options for those of you who don't do DIY!


 What you need:

  • Plain item of clothing (I used a comfy grey men's sweatshirt, but I think a plain white tee or black denim shorts would look super cute!) 
  • Iron-on patches (I got mine from Amazon, I just searched "Iron-on rose patches" and found these http://tinyurl.com/n7m63lt ) 
  • Iron and Ironing board (Duh...but I felt like I really had to be thorough just in case) 
Instructions: 
  1. Test it out (VERY IMPORTANT): Try on the sweatshirt in a mirror and put a piece of tape on the backs of the patches and really make sure you like the placement and that it is even. 
  2. Put the sweatshirt around the ironing board and iron on each patch (as stupid as this sounds I almost ironed it on top of the whole thing...woops)
  3. That's it!
