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!
- Use a pen with washable ink to draw the design you’d like to embroider on the collar of your shirt.
- Thread your needle with 2 strands of embroidery thread. It comes as 6 strands all bundled together, but separate into 2.
- 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!
- 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!
