Vanellope Von Schweetz Watch. Vanellope, also known as the Glitch, is hard-coded for speed. She’s also agile and can teleport glitch style through any adventure. She’s also no stranger to competition, so she’ll always put up a fight. The watch face is approximately 1 inch in diameter, and the wristwatch length is approximately 8 inches.

 

 


DIY Vanellope Sweatshirt

MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED

a teal sweatshirt
pink paracord
scissors

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Start by replacing the hood’s drawstring. Tie the pink paracord to the existing drawsting and pull the paracord all the way through the hood, leaving two ends sticking out. Cut the cord and use a lighter to seal the ends. Then tie a knot in each end to prevent the cord from slipping out.

Next, add all the details to the pocket. Start by measuring a piece of paracord long enough to make all of the detail. Seal the end with a lighter and tie a knot in one end. Make two diagonal stitches on the character’s left side and an X stitch on the right side. Finish by knotting the paracord inside the pocket and sealing the end again with a lighter.

You can wear the sweatshirt with a separate brown skirt or you can add this optional step. To sew your skirt directly to the sweatshirt: Pleat the skirt fabric, pin it to the sweatshirt and sew around the waistband.
