Adding a sequined appliqué to a sweater

I bought a really simple white sweater from H&M not that long ago. One of those sweaters that can be dressed up with nice pants or a skirt, but can also be dressed down with jeans. The first time that I wore it, it got caught on something that pulled some of the threads out a little. The hole was so tiny, I thought that I could get away with wearing it anyways. That was until my 13 year old cousin pointed at my chest one night at dinner and said "you have a hole on your boob." That, I thought, was the last time I could ever wear that sweater.

I was really bummed because I had literally worn it twice. I didn't want to throw it away, but I didn't know what else to do with it. I had some sequined appliqués that I had bought for a previous DIY project, and a lightbulb went off. 

All I did was hand sew that appliqué onto the sweater, and voila! I now have a cute sweater with just the right amount of sparkle on it. The only thing is, I now have to hand wash it, or wash it in the gentle cycle.
