Queen of Sparkle has become a popular hashtag used by many who love all things glittery and bright. This fun DIY project allows you to showcase your inner Queen of Sparkle through a personalized sweatshirt. In this article, I'll walk you through the steps to make your own sparkly sweatshirt using yarn, straight pins, scissors, and a sewing machine. Let's get sparkling!

Gather Your Materials

To make the Queen of Sparkle sweatshirt, you'll need the following supplies:

  • Plain white or light colored sweatshirt
  • Glitter yarn in your choice of color - I used ruby red yarn from Hobby Lobby for a festive look
  • Straight pins
  • Scissors
  • Sewing machine (optional but recommended for speed and neatness)
  • Tape (optional to secure design template)

I chose a $10 sweatshirt from Walmart for an affordable base. Sparkly yarn can be somewhat pricey, so shop sales. Hobby Lobby often has great yarn deals. A few dollars worth of yarn should do the trick. Let's move on to designing our sparkly text!

Design Your Text

Before attaching yarn to your sweatshirt, you'll want to map out your design. On a piece of paper, write out the word or phrase you want in glittering letters, such as "Queen of Sparkle." Play around with different font styles to find one you love. Make sure to leave enough space between each letter for your yarn stitches. Once you settle on a design, tape it to your sweatshirt for tracing or sewing reference.

Prepare the Yarn

For thicker, more luxurious yarn strands to really make your words pop, braid three pieces of yarn together tightly. Test the braided thickness against your design to ensure it will show up well. Trim any excess yarn ends. Now you're ready to start pinning and sewing!

Attach the Yarn

Beginning with the first letter of your design, use straight pins to securely attach the braided yarn along your traced letter shapes, smoothing out any bumps or loops. Continue pinning the entire word or phrase, trimming yarn as needed between letters. When complete, you're ready to sew. Here are a few FAQs to help with the process:

FAQs

Q: Should I hand sew or use a machine? A: Either method works well. A machine may be faster but hand sewing allows more control. Test small sections first to get the hang of it. Q: What stitch should I use? A: A straight stitch no longer than 1/8 inch works perfectly for attaching yarn. Go slowly and backstitch at the beginning and end of each letter for security. Q: How do I catch stray yarn strands? A: If you missed any during machine sewing, go back with a needle and thread to catch them by hand for a polished look. Q: Can I wash my finished sweatshirt? A: Yes, but be gentle! Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and air dry to preserve your sparkly creation.

There you have it - your own unique Queen of Sparkle DIY sweatshirt! Show off your sparkly personality and hashtag your creation #queenofsparkle #queenofsparklediy for others to enjoy. Let me know if you have any other questions.
