Therein was born a thought (from my brain? Who knew?): I shall make DIYs for white t-shirts that do not require a sewing machine! The first: embellishing with buttons.
Here’s how you do it:
Take a plain tee. I went with a v-neck.
Arrange the buttons as you wish and photograph. And yes, I ironed the shirt before sewing on the buttons.
Sew buttons on shirt while watching “You’ve Got Mail” and referring to picture taken in previous step as needed.
Wear and take sassy outfit photos on rooftop.

| Shirt: made by me, Skirt/Shoes: thrifted, Belt: His |
There you go! I chose buttons because they were the only thing I could think of that didn’t require a sewing machine. Have you ever made an embellished tee? How did you do it?

Love it!! Pinning it! =) And what swollen face are you even talking about? You look adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea! I am definitely going to try it!
ReplyDeleteErica, that looks great! I have a multitude of white t's at my place (and a new and growing collection of buttons) and this is a great way to spice up those shirts. Genius.
ReplyDeleteYou could also do a fun design with spray dye (http://tinyurl.com/3v5wz8k) or just plain spray paint (just make sure to iron afterwards to set the paint, making sure to keep a thin piece of paper between the shirt and iron to protect your iron). Just some things to think about. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Similar to the one above, spray paint with masking tape designs
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love it with the skirt and shoes too - perfect outfit.

That looks so cute, and hopefully really easy to do too!! I'm a bit useless with things like this, but I might just give it a try =D
