Those who follow me on social media platforms like Twitter or Instagram you have seen that I have been working on a DIY project for the blog inspired by FW13 Kenzo collection and specially with eye symbol. I love everything Carol Lim and Humberto Leon are doing in Kenzo giving a fresh air to the brand and making desirable for young folks. So after doing some research I tried to do by myself a reinterpretation of the Kenzo eye sweater. So let me know what you think...
All that you need is a 100% cotton basic sweater, scissors, sequin trim, rhinestones, fabric paint, a brush, precision cutter, textile glue and skills on illustrator to do the template.
First of all you need to cut the template to later trace it in the sweatshirt. Once cut we have to trace it with chalk clothing marker and choose the position of rhinestones, sequin trim and the fabric paint area.
Now, we only have to paste the sequins and the rhinestones in the chosen areas and apply the textile paint. Depends on fabric paint you choose, in some cases it's necessary to use the iron to fix it to the fabric. If so, inside out the sweatshirt and be sure to use a low temperature to avoid damaging the fabric.
