DIY : Dip-Dye Ombré Studded Sweater

This is probably one of the trickiest and longest DIY I've made 'til now..
But damn, it was worth it !!
Do this if you have time, gloves, and if possible some help by a friend or a family-member.


You will need :
- An old Sweater
- Special Fabric Dip-Dye Paint.
- A Bucket of warm water
- Salt
- Studs

Step 1 : Fill the Bucket of warm water + salt + the paint


 Blend everything with a spoon.


Step 2 : Dip the Sweater into the bucket.
Leave it there for about 3minutes.
Now, to make the Ombré-look, let only the very ends of the sweater dip a bit longer into the bucket, like 6 minutes.



Step 3 : Allow to dry.
This is going to take time, let it dry for the night and "wring" the painted parts of the sweater to remove excess paint.



Step 4 : Rince with cold water  and let dry.

Step 5 : Stud
Using your studs and a knife, push the studs through the fabric where you want and bend the prongs into the fabric.

Use your imagination, Be Creative !

Now, Admire !!!
