TEE:
  1. Cut the sleeves shorter to create a raw edge.
  2. Cut slices under the collar and pull them to make them look stringy.
  3. Create star and lightening bolt stencils by using cardstock and an X-acto knife.
  4. Use your stencils to create a fun rock n’ roll look with fabric spray. Spray a few details without the stencils too.

JEANS:
  1. Stud under the front pockets, a back pocket, and some randomly too.
  2. Use the star stencils and fabric spray to create a rock n’ roll look.

CARDBOARD GUITAR:
  1. Cut 3 guitar bodies, the front & back with slots for the neck so they interlock.
  2. Cut 2 guitar necks, one longer to slide onto the front and a small piece too to help hold it onto the body.
  3. Cut out all of the smaller pieces like dials, tuning knobs, & frets.
  4. Use a hot glue gun to assemble the main guitar.
  5. Use craft paints to paint the guitar & smaller pieces.
  6. Glue the smaller pieces onto the body.
  7. Draw the strings on with a Sharpie or string the guitar with yarn.

JOANN HACKS:

  • Use a skinny flat head screwdriver to attach the studs and save your fingertips.
  • Use metallic spray to add extra sparkle.
  • Cutting the cardboard in different directions will keep it from folding and breaking.
