I had a plain white tee that had a bit of yellow stain on it. I thought instead of throwing it away, I would add some designs on it using fabric paint! I was inspired by one of my blog readers I featured last week, Sunlight and Sequins.
Instructions:
What you’ll need:
-shirt
-sponge brush
-stamp
-fabric paint
-wax paper
-cup
Directions:
1. Cut up wax paper and insert inside the shirt, to make sure the fabric paint doesn’t seep through.
2. Squeeze out some fabric paint into a cup and dip the sponge brush lightly. With the brush, paint on the stamp.
3. Lay the shirt on a flat surface and stamp wherever desired. Stamp once more if you’d like the design to be more prominent.
4. Let it dry 4 hours before stamping the other side.
5. Wait at least 3 days before putting it in the wash.
Estimated time: 1 1/2 hours
Budget: under $10(if using a shirt you already have)
Skill level: beginner

so flattering, I know.
I did this while my girls were being babysat by my neighbor, and when Adi came home, she saw what I had made and wanted to make one for herself as well. She wanted to do it all by herself(I was right by her side to guide her), and didn’t she do a great job?
And when Jay came home and saw me in this shirt, he started reciting the Boy Scout’s slogan while signaling the Boy Scout sign. Turns out, it’s really close to the Boy Scout logo… darn it! But whatever, I still like it and I’m still gonna wear it!
