With this DIY Hive logo, a shift in your ordinary customized Hive Shirt just got better, and flaunt your new style! (Wink!)
Why did I decide to DIY my Hive crop top?
I haven’t been able to find a place that accepts small batches of customized creative logos on shirts. My sister 
Not the boring t-shirt please!
T-shirts are not my go-to style. I know they are comfy but I like wearing something cute and fun. Most of the customized tops are printed or painted on t-shirts but I wanted to wear a new style with the Hive logo other than just a basic shirt so I decided to buy a crop top.
I went to the mall with my friend, 
P.s. I didn’t do this DIY alone, my friend helped me throughout the whole process because you how it is when you have a toddler running around your place! I am really grateful that she helped because I wanted to wear it right the next day- My Hive Meet Up with the Hive siblings! (In case, you missed that blog, check it out here.
I could have had some better photos but I forgot to bring my camera with me to my friend’s place plus we did this at night before the Hive Meet Up, I didn’t even think of making a DIY tutorial for this top. If you ever decide to make this DIY, I would love to see how yours turns out and I think it’s a fun way to get more motivated in this community by sharing creative ideas, right?
The Layout
I thought of drawing the Hive logo but I wasn’t comfortable doing it myself so I just printed the logo and cut it out to use as a pattern. Although you could just draw it if you have the talent. Me, it depends what kind of art we are making, lol. And since I didn’t want to miss up the Hive logo before the community rant on me, I decided to just use a little bit of technology and a helping hand.
Before we start with the process let’s check the materials we will need for this DIY:
Some recommendations and tips for you before you prepare your materials:
Where did I get the accents or designs I use?
I didn’t want to spend a lot of time going to different shopping malls in my town to find the accents for my top because nowadays, most of the shops don’t stock items because of the pandemic, people don’t go shopping at the mall like they used to. so I asked my sister
There were so many nail accents to choose from and these are the ones on stocks that I really like the most; silver rhinestone, rose gold studs, chains, 3D rhinestone beads.
Recommendations:
You will need different sizes of brushes because you need a bigger brush to fill the inside of the logo but paint the edge with a thinner brush.
How to remove the excess paint and glue?
What I know is that you can only remove the paint by washing it immediately or before it dries, so you really have to be careful when applying the paint to the fabric.
You can use the nail polish remover or alcohol to remove the excess glue using a thin brush and soak it for at least ten seconds or keep brushing it until the excess glue comes off.
Tips:
It’s okay if it doesn’t look neat and perfect. That is why it’s called DIY, it is made by hand and not a machine. So, don’t aim for perfection, and don’t be afraid if it gets messy the first time.
It takes time and patience but the most important thing is to have fun and unlock your creativity.
So, are you ready to inject a new life into your wardrobe?
