I bought this sweatshirt around Christmas time for another project that never got made. So, I decided to use it to mimic similar sweatshirts I had seen online. This was such a simple DIY! The longest part is waiting for the paint to dry. This heart sweatshirt is perfect for the month of February but I’ll definitely rock it all year long!

You will need:

– Sweatshirt
– Fabric Paint (I used Tulip Soft Matte in Petal Pink)
– Paintbrush
– Poster board
-Scissors
– Marker

I wanted a big heart but didn’t have the right size paper. A simple fix is to tape pieces of paper together until you get the size you want. Then trace and cut out a heart shape with the fold in the center.Open your heart stencil and place it wherever you want the heart to be on your sweatshirt. Tape it in place so it doesn’t move while you paint. Begin by painting the outline of the heart.I found it easier to paint the entire outline of the heart. Remove the stencil and fix any mistakes. Fill in the rest of the heart. This will be the first layer of paint. Wait for the paint to dry (about an hour). Go back and add a second coat. I did two coats and a third round of touch-ups. Wait for the last coat to dry. I recommend washing your sweatshirt as it will smell of paint. Then it’s ready to wear!
