What are you waiting on? Lets Get Started!!
Lets turn a plain T-shirt into your own simple work of art.
(You don't have to use a T-shirt, you can use any type of fabric you like. For example-> hats, pants, jackets, white shoes, shoe strings etc.)
This would also be a great idea for a project done at a Craft or Art themed Party! You can get plain shirts cheap at thrift stores or even The Dollar Store and the paint recipes below are very cheap!
First off ~~>
You will need~~>
- A plain T-shirt (Or any other type of fabric you choose)
- Pencil
- Cardboard
- Clothespins or large paper clips
- Fabric paint or Home-made Paint (Recipes at bottom)
May we began.....
- Place the cardboard inside the T-shirt and Clip it in place with the clothespins or paper clips
- With your pencil, draw a picture on the shirt
- Use the fabric paint to add color to your drawing. You can simply paint over the outline or/and color it in.
If you would like, you can make a design instead of a picture.
For example, you can use shapes and lines in different colors to make a fun, modern pattern.

- Make sure the colors are mixed up really good.
- Paint your design on fabric and let dry.

Can the elmers glue/food coloring be washed regularly or does it need special attention?
ReplyDeleteI somehow missed this comment :( I'll look into that pain recipe and find out more information. I believe that the puffy part from the glue will wash off but the food coloring will dye the fabric
DeleteAnya, elmers glue is water soluble, so I wouldn't think you could wash it, since there's nothing else added that would make it impervious to water.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee Ann for answering her question, I somehow missed this comment :( I'll look into that pain recipe and find out more information
DeleteWhat design is being made permanent the crayon or paint
ReplyDeleteAfter a bit of research, I've realized that all of the recipes above can be made permanent using a fabric scrap and a iron. :)
DeleteCan you use tacky glue instead of elmers?
