DIY Rainbow Pompom Cover-Up

Materials:

2 yards of fabric
6 yards of pompom trim (1 yard of each color)
1 yard of trim for the neckline
1/2″ iron-on fabric tape
Measuring tape
Iron with steam
Needle and thread (optional)

Instructions:

1. Have a friend help you measure from the top of your shoulder to mid thigh. The length should be around 30-35 inches.
2. Fold the fabric in half and cut to be the shoulder to mid thigh measurement.
3. Fold into quarters and cut into a circle or oval. You can tie 2 markers to a string as a protractor to mark out the circle.
4. Fold the fabric in half the other way and cut out a head hole. You may want to cut a small hole at first to test it out and then mark out the hole while wearing it, or copy the head hole size of another shirt.
5. Follow the instructions on the iron-on tape to fuse the pompom trim to the bottom of the cover up.
6. Use the iron-on tape or hand sew the trim to the neckline.
