Styling Tips: 1. Try this look with a huge string of pearls or a silver sequin-coated cardigan.

Instructions

  1. Small dscf7380

    Gather your materials and plug in your hot glue gun, as well as your iron.

  2. Small dscf7382

    Lay dress on work surface. Measure 43" of glitter stripping.

  3. Optional: Cut the stripping in half to make thinner lines in your motif, or mix and match width.

  4. Optional: Cut an additional 12" for a third bow-motif, as we have.

  5. Small dscf7384

    Lay out stripping in slightly off-center v-neck shape as shown.

  6. Small dscf7386

    Once desired motif is achieved, iron down stripping using printer paper as a press-cloth. Press 25-30 seconds and then repeat.

  7. Small dscf7389

    Position bow appliques at intersection of v-motif.

  8. Small dscf7390

    Once desired motif is achieved, hot glue the appliques in place.

  9. Small dscf7395

    You might add an additional bow if you spilled some glue on your project... (oops!) Remember: DIY is all about trial and error!

  10. Small dscf7391

    Let cool completely.

  11. Small dscf7398

    Once motif is secure, try it on!
