A while ago I ran across this darling "Bonjour" sweater from Asos. I didn't want to fork over $60 for it, so with a cheap Forever 21 sweater and some black fabric paint, I recreated it for pennies on the dollar.

Description

A while ago I ran across this darling "Bonjour" sweater from Asos. I didn't want to fork over $60 for it, so with a cheap Forever 21 sweater and some black fabric paint, I recreated it for pennies on the dollar.

Instructions

  1. Small dsc 1063

    Draw out the text on the non-waxy side of your freezer paper, as seen below in the next two photos.

  2. Small dsc 1066

    Carefully cut out your letters using sharp scissors or an exacto knife.

  3. Small dsc 1067

    Using a hot iron, iron the freezer paper to your sweater.

  4. Small dsc 1069

    Place a piece of cardboard inside your shirt to prevent paint seeping through, and then using a foam brush, dab your paint on to the stencil.

  5. Small dsc 1071

    Let the first coat dry for 10-15 minutes and then do a second coat to insure total coverage. Wait for the paint to dry completely and then carefully peel the stencil off. If your fabric paint requires a heat seal, do that now.

    And you're done!
