How to put it together

1
Put on the solid black t-shirt or sweatshirt to establish the dark-mode screen background.
2
Cut out a music note shape from the white felt sheet, then cut slightly larger, identical shapes from the cyan and magenta felt sheets.
3
Layer the felt pieces on top of each other, offsetting the cyan and magenta slightly to the sides of the white note to create the classic 3D glitch effect.
4
Secure the layered logo to the center of your chest using fabric glue, safety pins, or double-sided fabric tape.
5
Paint or stick small white icons (a heart, a speech bubble, and a curved share arrow) vertically down the right side of the shirt to mimic the app's sidebar.
6
Turn on your portable ring light and carry it with you to illuminate your face and complete the content-creator aesthetic.

Makeup & hair

Keep your hair and makeup modern, clean, and camera-ready. You can add a touch of colorful eyeshadow in cyan and magenta to match the logo's signature color scheme.

TikTok for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: One person dresses as the TikTok app screen, while the other dresses as a viral TikTok trend or a 'Like' button.
group: Have friends dress up as different viral TikTok subcultures, such as E-girls, E-boys, VSCO girls, and cottagecore aesthetics.
kids: A simple black t-shirt with the colorful TikTok music note logo painted or ironed onto the front.

Tips

Use adhesive velcro to attach the app icons so you can easily reposition or remove them after Halloween.
Carry a smartphone on a selfie stick as a fun, interactive prop for taking photos with friends.
If you are attending an outdoor event, a black hoodie is a warm, cozy, and practical base for the logo.
