Put a Bird on It.

I had an old cardigan that needed a little pizzazz.
Here's what I did with a few supplies laying around.
What You'll Need:
  • Cardigan
  • Scrap material {enough to cover the size of an elbow patch}
  • Scissors, Needle & Thread, Marker & Chalk

1. Cut out your design {I chose a bird if you haven't already guessed from the title}- Be creative!
2. Trace design onto material and cut out shape
3. Put on the cardigan and mark an "x" with chalk {or a small "x" with a permanent marker} where your elbow hits.
4. Pin the bird into place over the "x"
5. Sew a simple stitch around the edge.
6. Wear it!

So easy but one of my favorite DIY to date. 
If you end up doing this project I'd love to see the results-

  6. That's so cool...I wish I had the talent/time to do that. Brittany has a sewing machine, so maybe I can pick out the design and she can sew it! :)
