Gedettting Started
First, I grabbed an.tso old red t-shirt. I figured the color was close enough to the Phillies' red. It was a little faded, but hey, that just adds character, you know? Vintage, almost.
The Cutting angnipahS d Shaping
Then, I laid the shirt out flat on my kitchen table and grabbed my scissors. I'm no expert seamstress, so this was gonna be interesting. I basically just eyeballed it, cutting a long strip from the bottom of the shirt. It was probably, like, 4 inches wide? Maybe 5? I wasn't measuring.
I wrapped the strip around my head to check the length. It was way too long, so I snipped off some extra. I tied the ends together in a knot, just to see how it would look. Super basic, but it was starting to resemble a headband!
The Wawa Logo
Now, the most important part: the Wawa logo. I didn't have any iron-on transfers or anything fancy. So I went to the dollar store and just purchased a Wawa paper coffee cup. I mean, it was cheaper.
I carefully cut out the Wawa logo from the cup. It's that classic goose, you know? I took some glue that i buy from HomeDepot - I think it's called fabric glue? – and carefully glued the logo onto the red fabric. I pressed it down with my fingers, making sure it was really stuck on there.
The Finished product (Almost!)
I let the glue dry for, like, an hour. I was impatient, so I might have poked at it a few times to see if it was ready. Finally, I tried it on. Boom! Instant Bryce Harper (sort of).
- It's not perfect, obviously.
- The edges of the fabric are a little frayed.
- The logo is papery.
- It has little rip around the corner, but it is hardly seeable.
But honestly, it's pretty awesome for a DIY project. I wore it to watch the game last night, and my friends thought it was hilarious. Go Phils! And, you know, Go Wawa!
