AKA, how to find Zanny at FC. =D
I didn't want a hoodie with ears and a mane attached, so I bought a plain powder blue hoodie and painted it myself. I took pics with my phone along the way to document the process, so the photos aren't the greatest quality, but you get the idea! The wing templates I made from printing off and cutting out an appropriate image. I do NOT plan on making more of these. This was just a silly, easy costume idea for myself since I'll be staff at FC and won't have time for anything more involved.
Step 1: Locate/make/print out wing templates. Because I'm doing this for me and not for sale, I didn't feel bad about yoinking an image someone else had already done and printing myself a copy.
Step 2: Cut out wing templates, position on back of hoodie or t-shirt, and TAPE down to fabric. I recommend printing them on heavy paper or card stock. It makes the next step easier.
Step 3: Use a black marker (sharpie, india ink pen, etc) to trace around the outside of the black lines on the template. DO NOT MAKE A MARK WHERE THE WINGS WOULD ATTACH TO THE BODY! It won't look natural if you do.
Step 4: Remove templates and cut away outermost layer of feathers.
Step 5: Re-tape smaller template to fabric, lining up edges carefully.
Step 6: Trace around edges of 3 smaller feathers.
Step 7: Use same cutaway technique to trace cutie mark on front of shirt, typically on the left breast.
Step 8: Mix paint of desired color (or buy fabric paint, but you can also use regular acrylic mixed with a fabric medium). I went with a blue slightly darker than the blue of my shirt. Place a hard surface like a piece of cardboard covered in waxed paper, or masonite, INSIDE of shirt. This will give you a hard surface to work on and prevent any paint from bleeding onto the front of the shirt or hoodie.
Step 9: Carefully paint over the lines you traced.
Step 10: Wait until paint is TOTALLY dry before attempting to paint cutie mark on front of shirt. Apply same techniques to cutie mark. I recommend painting in any solid areas FIRST, and doing the outline last so you can smooth out any rough edges with that finishing touch.
Step 11: Heat set your paint with an iron on cotton setting before you attempt to wash the garment. To heat set, you can find instructions here: http://painting.about.com/od/fabric.....-with-iron.htm
Step 12: If desired, buy an appropriate colored wig, or dye your hair.
Wear your awesome new hoodie and be 20% cooler! =D
