My first thought was…I love! My second thought was… I can make this! While this isn’t a sewing project…I haven’t done anything crafty in a while and really enjoyed this project.
I placed cardboard inside the sweater to prevent the paint from bleeding through to the back and then I painted the dots on with the stencil. Easy as that! I bought a small bottle of paint and didn’t have enough paint for two coats but I really liked how it looked a bit faded with the sweater fabric showing through. This paint was supposed to have a velveteen finish when it was steamed but I didn’t find it worked. The paint is a little stiff and I’m hoping it will soften in the wash. Even if it doesn’t, I am thrilled with the resulting look.
Thanks to Handsome for taking these pictures and making me feel so comfortable.
