Score this sweet sweater look with felt and beads. Cut the felt into flower petal shapes. Sew each petal onto your cardigan and string on beads for a shiny center. Contrasting colors make it cool.

Feathered frenzy

Stock up on flower appliqués from the craft store and in the same shade as your cardi. Sew on a bunch in an abstract pattern, even going down the shoulders and sleeves. Stitch on a few sequins for a hint of sparkle.

Serious gemstones are totally in. Why not apply them to your boring crewneck? Pick up a pack of rhinestones at your nearest craft store, and apply them in a gradient pattern to your top with fabric glue.
