DIY Chanel Top

We all have dreams of wearing high fashion designer clothes, but ...... not all of us want to spend hundreds of dollars on it. Check out this DIY Chanel top!!!



So this was super easy to make..

Here is what you will need

  • a piece of clothing
  • X-acto knife
  • printer transfer sheets
  • a printer
  • ironing board
  • iron



Directions...

  1. find a blank picture of the Chanel logo, copy it onto Microsoft word and flip the image vertically so that it looks backwards
  2. follow the directions for the transfer sheet printing and print your logo onto the page
  3. use the X-acto knife to trace around all of the letters to get rid of the clear film, if you do not remove the clear film, there will be a lot of ugly residue on your shirt
  4. To prepare your shirt, make sure to iron over the spot you will be putting the logo onto(to get rid of wrinkles)
  5. place the transfer paper onto the piece of clothing and then make sure it is centered with the ink side down( the logo should look normal through the paper if you did it correctly)
  6. make sure your iron is on with the steam settings OFF!!!
  7. take your iron and press it directly onto the logo and hold for a few seconds and then move it to another spot on the logo, repeat this until the logo has had about 45 seconds of heat in each spot
  8. Wait for the paper to completely cool off and then gently peel it back
  9. If the ink isn't cleanly peeling off of the paper, Iron for about 20 more seconds in each spot
  10. Once the paper comes of clearly..... you are done!!!

*****BE SURE NOT TO IRON THE CLOTHING TO MUCH OR YOU WILL BURN A HOLE THROUGH IT******

TOTAL COST:

Bodysuit.............................................................$8
Transfer Paper......$10x40%coupon/10sheets= $0.60
Other items were previously owned

TOTAL: $8.60


Hope you enjoy this DIY Chanel top that was super cheap & cost less than $9 to make!!! Pair it with a neutral tote bag to complete the chic look. . . .I paired mine with an army green Longchamp!! College budget still intact after this high designer DIY!!
