TikTok is saving everyone with a great last-minute present for Valentine’s Day. Sentimental and a DIY project, the kisses sweatshirt is perfect for whipping up a meaningful gift. If you need to get involved and fast, we can tell you how to make a kiss hoodie and show you some great examples.
Uh-oh — it’s getting towards the end of Valentine’s Day and you’ve forgotten to get your other half a present. Never fear, TikTok has saved the day with its latest viral trend, meaning you can give a thoughtful gift without the hassle. Plus, you’ll be able to brag that you’ve made it yourself. If this sounds ideal for your situation, then we’ll tell you exactly what you need to do.
How To Make The TikTok Kiss Hoodie
You won’t need a lot of supplies, but the sweatshirt requires some, so if you don’t have the following at home then make a quick dash to the shops.
- fabric paint
- sellotape
- paint brush
- Paint tape (ideally)
- tracing/ironing paper
- lipstick
Oh, and you’ll want to get your one of your boyfriend’s hoodies out too! The darker the colour the better for the lipstick to show up best.
First, use a lint brush to get any hairs off the front of the hoodie. Make a rectangle out of the tape across the chest big enough to fit enough kisses. Make sure the tape is secure, then use the fabric paint to create a base layer. Most people have used white, but as long as the colour is light then it will work a treat. If you’re in a rush, use a hair dryer to help it dry as you’ll probably need a couple of coats.
Once you’re happy with the paint and it’s completely dry, put a load of lipstick on and cover that base with kisses. Use different colours if you can as it looks even more effective! Once you’ve put enough on, use a hair dryer again so it stays in place and then remove the tape and iron with some paper over the top.
And just like that, you’ve made a DIY kiss mark hoodie from TikTok! We can’t promise that he’ll wear it out and about all the time, but even if he wears it doing chores or snuggling on the sofa, he’ll appreciate the gift. What’s even better, he’ll never know that you accidentally forgot to get him a Valentine’s present and you can brag about how it’s homemade. Result!
