3 Step DIY: Neon Trim Cardigan

June 7, 2012

DIY

Posted 09/12

{Tank: Old Navy, Jeans: Paper denim, Sandals: Nine West, Neon Studs: Loren Hope, Bracelet: Loren Hope}

This is a fun way to revive your old cardigans, or add a little flave to your favorite:)
I saw this image on pinterest via Sincerely Jules, and since I couldn’t find the cardigan source, I decided to just re-vamped my own. Read on for full instructions!

Materials:
1/2 yard fabric (ribbon can also be used!)
Liquid Stitch
Scissors
Cardi of choice
Instructions:
1) Measure out your fabric of choice in the lengths of your cardigan edges.
2) Cut strips along the edge of your fabric approximately 1/4-1/2 in. wide.
3) Using liquid stitch, slowly attach your strips along the edges of your cardigan and let dry.

I am keeping these DIY’s simple for you folks! They are the only ones I have time for;)
I hope you enjoy!

  8. Erin says:

    Cute! Love the cardigan “after” a lot. I think the raw edge of the fabric will look fun too.

  25. monirose says:

    Couldn’t help lending a little sewing opinion 🙂

    If you cut the fabric on the bias, it won’t fray as much (some fabrics fray a lot cut on a straight line), plus it’s easier to fit around curves for a smooth line.
    If you don’t want to do that, add fray check to the ends so it doesn’t fray!

  26. Nuha says:

    as always anna i’m amazed by your creativity. love this idea!

  27. Alex says:

    Love! So fun and unexpected!

  28. Janssen says:

    That is DARLING! What a great little project.

  29. Wendy says:

    what a great idea! looks fabulous!

  30. Anna I love it! What a great DIY. The pop of color is unexpected and perfect. Neon should be “subtle”!

  31. sharon lei says:
