All winter I've been searching for the perfect heart sweater that wouldn't break the bank...or my frugal heart. $20+ sweater? No, thanks. I went thrifting and found this perfect long-sleeved grey sweater and instantly knew it would be perfect for this DIY.

Make your stencil. -I tore off the front part of an old notebook and made one half of a heart. --I'll admit, I cheated and printed of an enlarged outline and kinda went by that. [I marked the beginning and the end and curved it how I liked]
Use spray adhesive to keep the stencil from moving while you sponge the fabric paint on. -I just went around the edges first. --Make sure to put something between the layers of fabric so no paint seeps to the back of your sweater/shirt/tanktop
Continue sponging around the edges and flip the stencil when you get ready to do the other side. -I forgot to take a picture of the other half sponged. --Make sure you wipe off any excess paint on the stencil before flipping!
Fill it in!! :D
Wait 10-15 minutes for it to dry and give it a second coat.
Lay it flat and allow it to dry for at least 4 hours, and wash it inside out after 72. -Enjoy!!
