  Step 1

  The ingredients.

  Step 2

  On the show she has three or four butterfly patches sewn onto the front of her cardigan and that’s basically the only embellishment. I do not own butterfly patches, nor do I posses the mental acuity of an eighth grader. What I did have were some Betsey Johnson patches that I picked up from Michael’s that were a little more punk rock and a lot more me. So I ironed them onto the same spot where Kimmy has the butterflies on her cardigan.

  Step 3

  I decided to go a little bit above and beyond by adding a purple sequin skull. That way the Banana Boys know not to mess with me!

  Step 4

  This is the part that takes the most time. Seriously, think in terms of hours. My best advice is to free form the basic shape of the skull and features that you want with the sequins (I actually used Quarters to get the basic size and shape of the eyes), then glue them down, allow to dry and take your thread and sew the beads on top of the sequins. That way you know they’ll stay on and won’t flake off whenever the glue gets worn out.

  Step 5

  Wear, feel like a ray of sunshine, repeat.
