This vintage and patriotic DIY sweater, dubbed the 'Star Spangled Hoodie' by blogger Breanne, is perfect for the all-American girl. The few hours of work will be well worth it and certain to make an impression this Independence Day. This "stars and stripes" sweater is a straight-forward project and only requires a few essentials to complete.
You'll need to grab an old white sweater (or new -- you'll be sure to find one at American Apparel), Tulip Fabric Spray Paint, masking tape and freezer paper. Breanne, or Beener as her family calls her, takes you through a step-by-step guide on the blog 'oh, pish posh.' Just make sure to leave yourself a few hours to complete the project.
Other nationalities could take note too! The creative DIY-er should get to work and design an equally unique version that fits in with their country's colors.
