Campbell's and soup out of acetate or the Shrink It using an craft knife. Place a shirt board or some cardboard between the shirt's layers. Tape the Campbell's stencil you just made anywhere on the red portion of the shirt. Paint in the letters using the paint directly from the bottle. Carefully remove the stencil. Blot stencil on paper towels to remove excess paint. Repeat scattering over the red area. Do the same with the Soup stencil using black paint and on the white area. Let dry and repeat on the back of the shirt.
After the paint is dry, cut along center line of the shirt. Pin under a 1\2" hem along both sides of the shirt beginning where the two shirts are fused together and continue down ward. Turn under the top edges to form the V. Pin. Using the steam setting on your iron or wet press the hem in place. Trim the lapped over edges of the V neck line to 1\2" seam allowance. Cut several 1\2" lengths of fusible web. Fuse to the wrong side along both edges of the shirt using the pressed line as a guide. Trim web where necessary. Fuse wrong side to wrong side for hem. Run a line of washable glue along ribbing cuts to seal. You may also need to glue where the two shirts meet at the hem.
Apply 5 of the Velcro fasteners down the front of the shirt using the washable glue. Make a pattern of a circle and trace onto the paper backing of the fusible web, cut out. Fuse to wrong side of gold knit. Sew two pieces of knit together using the fused circle as a guide. Sew close to the circle. Remove the paper backing from the fuse. On the other side of the sewn circle, cut a slash close to one side. Turn inside out and press. With the washable glue, glue the half of the circle with the slash to the center right side. Let dry. Glue the remaining fastener one to the gold circle and the other to the other side of the sweat shirt to secure.
