DIY Holiday Sweater Series: Christmas Trees
Spread the Christmas cheer this season with your own DIY holiday sweater! This easy project uses the Tulip Holiday Cheer Fabric Paint Kit to create festive Christmas tree designs in a traditional holiday color palette. Whether you’re making a sweater for yourself or gifting it to someone special, you can’t go wrong with this classic Christmas design!
Supplies Needed:
Tulip Holiday Cheer Fabric Paint Kit
Gildan crewneck sweatshirt
Christmas Trees printable stencil and tape (optional)
Step 1: Prepare holiday sweater for painting
Lay your holiday sweater flat on your work surface. Insert cardboard or a sheet of plastic between layers to prevent paint from seeping through.
Step 2: Apply fabric paint to holiday sweater
If using a stencil, place flat onto sweater in desired position and tape if needed. Apply fabric paint through the stencil to create your Christmas trees design. For this DIY holiday sweater, we’re using green and brown Puff Paint and metallic gold, green, and light green Brush-On Fabric Paint to create the Christmas trees. We’re also using red and white Puff Paint to add details, plus gold and silver glitter Brush-On Fabric Paint for the stars on top. For the “Merry Christmas!” lettering, either white Puff Paint or Brush-On Fabric Paint can be used. Press a few gems or glitter into the wet Puff Paint for an extra sparkling touch!
Step 3: Let dry and enjoy!
Carefully remove the stencil and allow the paint to dry completely. Once the paint has dried, your holiday sweater is ready to wear! Your DIY holiday sweater can be hand washed (inside out) and line dried after 72 hours.
