This isn't your Momma's Sequins

 My entry into Wow Me Wednesday sponsored

My first time attempting a "fashion" post was with the hip and stylin' Meagan over at The Fairly Fabulous Blog, about a month ago. I figured I'd post the tutorial here for our archives as well.

When I'm not creating Eye Candy for our shop, I'm attempting to refashion clothes for myself and M. A huge drawback tho is I am not a seamstress. I'm pretty sure I could sew a button onto a shirt if I "had" to, but don't bet on it (wink wink). I came across the graphic tee below and fell in love....

With a price tag of $34.90, I couldn't justify buying it, so I thought I'd try to make a similar one. With the help of one of my BFF's a.k.a. Aleene's Fabric Fusion, I did just that! Let's get this party started!

Gather your Supplies: Article of Clothing (in my case a tank top), Fabric Fusion (Aleene's), A roll of sequins (I used single strand for this shirt), and cardboard

Start off by placing the cardboard inside your article of clothing. This will keep the glue from leaking onto the other side while you work.

Next freehand a design onto your clothing. In this case I started with the letter L.

Press the sequins into the glue, following the pattern to shape out the design.

I did one letter at a time, and it worked great. If you mess up, or don't like it, just remove and start over. Dab the area that had the glue on it with a dry washcloth to remove the glue and start again. The glue is forgiving and dries on clear, and all the white flakes left from the glue will wash off.

Keep going till you're completely finished! Tada! The finished product. Allow to dry per package instructions.

I promise this is super easy! Try it, but be warned, you'll be addicted (wink wink).

I also wanted to give a shout out to the talented Kristina who blogs over at Kristina Grapes, who attempted and took by storm my tutorial! Check out her version below:

 Great job girl! And thanks for letting me show it off! We appreciate it!

Linking up to these fun parties today!
