DIY Hogwarts Sweatshirt
Hi everybody!
I have a friend who's into Harry Potter a lot (who isn't, really) and it was her birthday so I decided to make something Harry Potter-related for her :)
Since my friend goes to Medical School but always wanted to actually go to Hogwarts, here's what I decided to write on her shirt : Medical School, because Hogwarts didn't accept me. I had stumbled upon something like this and liked it!
Tools used:
-I went and bought a very normal plain grey sweatshirt that should be her size, hopefully!
-I used a Sharpie Laundry marker so that it won't come out when washed. Personally I would recommend hand washing your garment because otherwise the markings fade out bit by bit through every (machine) wash.
-A 30 cm ruler
-White chalk
-2B pencil
So here's how it went:
I downloaded the Harry Potter font from the internet, opened Word and typed the sentence I wanted to write.
Then using chalk and a ruler, I drew on the shirt the boxes where each word would go, specifying the size and length of each one.
Then I slowly copied each letter and each word into its place with a pencil, making sure everything would fit.
Last step, I went over them all with the Sharpie marker, being as accurate as possible to really get the Hogwarts effect on the letters.
That's it, when I was finished I simply rubbed the chalk out of the fabric and added the small Harry Potter glasses and scar :)
There you go, easy Harry Potter fan gift!
