Hot Glue, Buttons and a Sweatshirt

Hot Glue, Buttons and a Sweatshirt

I needed a really quick decorative top to wear to an evening function over the holiday season.
It was only for one night and I didn't want to buy something I would only wear once and only in the dark of the night....so   I found a sweatshirt I bought last spring on clearance for about $2.50 and I found some fun buttons, got out my hot glue gun and had some fun!
Yes, I could have sewed the buttons on, but I didn't.
In the dark nobody knew I used hot glue, remember it was only for one night.
Turned out cute tho....
The buttons above are an example of fun buttons, this company makes all kinds of decorative buttons in all kinds of themes
Items needed for this project   Hot Glue, glue sticks, buttons and a sweatshirt
Finished
After the event was over, I was able to take the buttons off,
scraped the glue off the shirt and button backs
and I can use both another day for some other projects.
I have NO IDEA if the finished sweatshirt with the glued on buttons would make it through the washer and dryer
I chose not to try... remember this article was only to be
worn one night, for one event.
It worked just fine.
When you are looking for something quick, easy and cute
give this project a try

ENJOY
