Aloha! This week our DIY is something I’m completely coconuts about- a tropical floral tee! We all know florals have been a big trend for spring, but for summer they are taking a brighter, more festive turn, inspired by Stella McCartney’s luau prints. You can get the looks above for $80 to several hundred… but I decided to replicate it with some bright fabric and a neon shirt for $15! Read on for the how-to’s!
What you need:
1. Any old tee. I prefer brights and neons for this project. Old Navy has some great ones here.
2. 1/2 yd of any floral fabric. Mine is from Mood in NYC but here, here and here are some other options that are cheap cheap cheap!
3. Scissors
4. Fabric Glue
5. Studs and studding supplies. If you do decide to include studs (because I stud EV-ER-Y-THING) then I suggest following my studding tutorial here!
Then wear anywhere you want to bring the Tropics to your life! I personally LOVE the way this came out, and it was so easy. Let me know if you try it!
This is so creative! Thank you for your sweet comment on my “things I’m afraid to tell you” post. I’m so happy it has led me to discover your cute blog! xoxo
Thanks Mackenzie for dropping by! Glad you found my little blog. Would love to meet up if you are ever in NYC!
OMG, i love how it turned out! need to do it myself :)
