From Meh to Monet: Crew Neck Makeover for a Few Bucks

Turning an everyday staple into a work of wearable art is no sweat. Inspired by the painterly prints of designers like Preen, MSGM and Reed Krakoff, a little dab of abstract floral radness does wonders for a drab old crew neck…so get on board and bring out your inner DIY Picasso, baby!

To create: Insert a piece of cardboard or bristol paper inside the sweatshirt to prevent paint from bleeding through. Soak a kitchen sponge in water; ring out excess, then gently dampen the sweatshirt. Use a wet paint brush to dampen the watercolor paints, then mix onto a plate to achieve your desired colors. Paint the design onto your sweatshirt. Let dry completely before wearing.
