Get a plain sweatshirt. This is from H&M for men.

Pick your iron-on embellishment from a trimmings shop and lay them out on your sweatshirt.
Optional: use pins to mark where you think you want the trim to go.

I went with across the shoulder in 2 rows and the upper sleeves.

Layer a teflon sheet over the coins.
Place a hot iron with steam on top of the sheet for approx 20 seconds checking half way.   The heat and steam bonds the coins to the sweatshirt (the coins have glue underneath that’s heat activated).

Done in 20 minutes!

Options: Imagine the coins down the sleeves only and closer together or on the torso only.  Your sweatshirt – your experiment.

This is just a guide but a good trim shop has loads of choices: stars, studs, squares, pyramids – also pieces like this from the DIY Marant jeans would look sick on a black sweatshirt.

After wearing this H&M studded sweatshirt it was time to show how easy it is to try your own using what you want.

Or sod the DIY all together and get this one done for you.

Happy Friday!!
