The trend to upcycle and recreate clothing continues to gain popularity. Our fashion embellishment category is full of wonderful options to re-fashion clothing.
This simple project begins with a plain t-shirt, appliques, sew-on sugar stones and some glue.
The sequin and beaded leaf shaped applique is just one gorgeous example.
Sew-on sugar resin stones compliment the applique.
Quick Grip glue can be used with many surfaces including fabric. I attached my embellishments with a light application and allowed everything to dry overnight. You do not need a lot of glue. Just small dots in key locations.
TIP: Place a piece of wax paper inside your t-shirt. This will insure that when you glue everything onto the t-shirt that the glue will not seep through two layers – gluing your t-shirt permanently closed.
It is a good idea to sew the resin stones onto the fabric with a few extra stitches since they already have holes to do so.
If you are label conscious, you can remove the original label. Your new t-shirt is now designed by you!
This new t-shirt is going to be a great addition to any holiday wardrobe!
