diy: aztec inspired cardigan.

photos and braids done by tori.

what you'll need:
a plain cardigan [thrifted mine for $3]
assorted fabric paints
paint brush
optional: paper, scissors, & dressmaker's marking pencil

what i did:
i used the paper and cut out some shapes i've seen on some other aztec inspired sweaters
laid the shapes out how i wanted them on the sweater
traced them with the marking pencil and added a few other designs
painted it! - you might have to do this in sections since the sweater won't lie flat and you don't want it to smudge or soak through!


have fun!

  1. Yet another wonderful DIY idea. I do love how you've braided and styled your hair, it very much suits the aztec theme :D

  2. If you use hair spray in the sections you are drawing on, the hair spray will help the fabric to stay flat to draw on.
