Turning the embroidered menswear trend on its head, we gave a basic mens button-down shirt a multicolored makeover with some embroidery stitches.

 

 

 

 

You need to have:
Mens button-down shirt
Embroidery thread
Needle
Pen
Scissors

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s do it!

1. Use a pen with washable ink to draw the design you’d like to embroider on the collar of your shirt.
2. Thread your needle with 2 strands of embroidery thread. It comes as 6 strands all bundled together, but separate into 2.
3. When you’re done with your design, make sure all of the ends of the threads are knotted off and secure. If you’re unsure, dab a little clear nail polish on the ends of the threads!
4. Wash the shirt to get any hiding pen marks off, then throw it on with cut-off shorts, over a bikini, or as a dress, and enjoy all the stares!
