4th of July Glitter Jeans and T-Shirt

  I'm sad to announce that I didn't make it into the top 5 at one crafty contest.  

To see who did click here.

 It was so much fun being a part of One Crafty Contest.  It challenged me to complete my paint project on time and work with products I have never used before like washi tape.  The challenge for round 5 was glitter I created this 4th of July outfit for my daughter.  I think I may make coordinating outfits for my other kids.

Here are some behind the scenes pictures!

I made a star stencil by printing a star graphic.  Then I traced it with crayon and layed the image face down on a file folder.    I could of printed the image on card stock but that would of been too easy :)

I traced along the outline of the stars with a pencil.  It left an image that I was able to cut out with scissors.  You may be wondering why I didn't use my Cricut?  Well, I left it at my mother's house.

I used spray adhesive to temporarily stick the stars to the jeans. Then I traced around the stars with a paint marker and removed the stencil. I used painter's tape to layout the stripes. 

 Then, using a small paint brush, I brushed Mod Podge on the areas where I wanted the glitter.

I chose the word beautiful because it best describes America (America the Beautiful).  I printed the lettering on to a iron on transfer (you can buy them by the computer printer paper) and trimmed around the letters.

I followed the instructions to apply the transfer.

Then using Mod Podge and a paint brush, I carefully painted each letter.

Then I covered the Mod Podge with glitter. 

Then to tie the shirt and jeans together I added a star.

  
The outfit by itself was cute but It needed a little more to make it shine!  Thanks to my daughter for being my model.

 

She just couldn't resist!

 I hope you enjoyed this post.  For more be sure to follow Callie's Crafts!
