These rosettes were glued on with Beacon Fabri-tac.... But if you want to hand stitch or machine sew you can do that too.... It was a really quick project and turned out beautiful. (I think, anyway.)
I would love to hear your comments.
Instructions:
1 pair of scissors.
1 yard of Rosettes
1 altered sweatshirt (link here for instructions)
1 bottle of Fabri-tac (or other fabric glue)
10 minutes of your time...
Make sure your shirt has been washed before you apply your embellishment, to prevent any mishaps of shrinking).
Take your shirt and around the neckline, apply your glue a little at a time. Pressing with your fingers as you wrap the rosettes around the neckline... I started on the shoulder seam but you can start in the back if you want to.
Once you have made it all around then cut the remaining rosettes off and YOU ARE FINISHED!!!
Now wasn't that easy?
If you don't want to do the neckline, you can apply it around the hemline, or the cuffs, or all three places, if you really want to bling it out!
Now that you have seen how it's done, find an old sweatshirt and give it new life with this cute embellishment. Don't like the rosettes, you can do the same with ruffles, beading, lace.... It's unlimited what you can do with your altered sweatshirt.... Just have fun with it....
glue around edge
holding it in place for a few seconds
the finished product. (which after looking at this photo, might get something on the cuffs. LOL)

This is a great and easy activity! Would be super easy for my Girl Scout troop to do!
Cute! I have a bunch of the red ones leftover from a valentine project that never quite came together!
Love this Idea!

Love that you took the latest trend of sweatshirts to the NEXT level!
Thanks Sissy! It was just sew easy and I wanted something different. ;)

What a fast and lovely way to add a soft touch to any sweatshirt; especially since we are definitely IN sweatshirt time of year! Thanks, Terre!
