DIY: Decorating sweater

So this is what wore today. Red sweater with denim shorts. Actually yesterday I was decorating this sweater. Can you guess what I did? 

Yeah I added the collar to this sweater!

I got inspiration of this CutiePieMarzia's video. She shows pretty awesome ways to decorate old sweaters. So I got the inspiration here, but still did something differently.

I found the cute lace when I searched trough my decorating bags. I had saved this long time ago and now was the time to use it. I though it was perfect to this. And I was lucky to find this. For some reason I didn't find anything like this in the local fabric stores...

I decided to this little bit differently than Marzia... Instead of sewing I took glue tape. I'm not sure what to call that in English. Anyways you can see it in the top photo. It's this thin net like thing, which melts when you iron it. First I wanted to make the border nice and clean. So I fold it and but that glue tape in the middle. I ironed it and tada~. It ended up looking pretty good.

Then I took the sweater and little by little ironed the glue tape attached sweater and collar together. I was happy how it looks now! No sewing marks.This little decorating made the sweater look much cuter.

Today when I came from school I made some gingerbread's. I used the new Moomin cookie cutters. The ginderbread's looked really good. But something was missing...

So I decorated them! I'm actually pretty bad at decorating any cookies, cupcakes or cakes. But these ended up looking okay.Besides they taste really good. I already ate 5 little ones!

Well that's all for today! I hope you enjoyed this entry and the little tip how to decorate sweater!
