About Our Project
We cut up daddies old stained white shirts and fabric glued them into kid sized shirts, dresses & tank tops. Adults used spray paint, kids used safe non-toxic paints when painting themselves.
Supplies Needed:
- T-Shirts (New or Old)
- Masking Tape or Painters Tape
- Stickers (shapes with sharp lines work best)
- Paint (Spray Paint or Make your own & put in a spray bottle)
- Cardboard for inside the shirts & an extra piece to guide your paint
Step 1
Plan out your design (sketch it out on paper)
Step 2
Place your tape or sticker shapes where you want the white to remain.
Step 3
Paint. (Watch video above for technique ideas.)
Step 4
Let sun dry at least 2 hours. Then place in dryer to heat set the paint.
Step 5
Wash alone in washer with cold water, mild detergent & fabric softener.
Step 6
Line dry inside or out.
Step 7
Wear & take compliments graciously.
Tips
When making your own non-toxic paint for kids to use be sure not to make it too watery otherwise you will get a watercolor effect rather than sharp lines.
