Start by folding your card stock in half. Then draw half a heart, as shown in the picture above. Next, use the scissors to cut out the shape. At this point, place your card stock template where you want your first heart to be, then paint using your foam brush. Use a piece of tape to secure the cardboard in place, if you think you need it. Let it dry for a while, then repeat several times to create your desired pattern. Once you’re done, let everything completely dry. Lastly, use a piece of cotton fabric to protect the pattern and iron for a couple of minutes. Be sure to check the producer’s instructions for the best results.
This sweater would also make a great Galentines’s Day gift for your bestie!
