Shackets are really in right now but me being me, I wanted to bedazzle and iron on patches to mine!

You may remember this shacket from a pervious post. I had used fabric glue to glue turquoise beads on it and it worked for the most part but a few beads were falling off which was not going to work for me with a toddler! They looked way to much like M&Ms. So I took them all off and decided to bedazzle some jewels instead with a pre-glue adhesive that you heat up.

I started by laying the beads where I wanted them, basically to cover up the glue.

I got this bedazzle tool from Amazon. Its pretty inexpensive and you just need to hold it over each bead for about 20 seconds at a 90 degree angle. Give it 24 hours to fully set.

I ended up going a little crazy and adding some smaller beads in-between the larger!

For the next shacket, I got this corduroy distressed one but I wanted something MORE!

I decided to make it a rock and roll inspired shacket and iron on a bunch of my fav band tags!

I started by laying some of them out to get an idea and then ironing them on before adding more so that it didn't overwhelm one area.

I can wear this to my next rock concert, aka my bed icon not going out much these days but part of the reason I am all about the shacket trend is because all my clothes need to be oversized these days!
