Crafting with the Katies: Embroidering a hot glue design on a sweatshirt

The Katies are back with another craft that’s perfect for any old sweatshirts you have lying around that you want to spruce up!

You’ll need:

  • A sweatshirt (t-shirts work too!)
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue
  • Embroidery thread and needle

Step one: If you want to have a template for your design, go ahead and make that with a piece of cardboard or paper. Otherwise, you can freehand whatever you’d like on your sweatshirt with your hot glue gun.

Step two: Wait for the glue to dry completely.

Step three: Take your embroidery thread, and with a simple stitch, go around your hot glue design.

Step four: Finish off your embroidery by tying off your thread on the back side of your sweatshirt.
