I saw this project on a blog while I was 'stumbling' and wanted to try it out for Arti and I: Watermark Tee by Sweet Verbana. Here is the original link just in case you want it: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2011/08/creative-guest-watermark-tee-by-sweet.html
Project: Create your own tee with your favorite quote, song lyrics, sayings, etc. It looked easy, fun, and cute!
Step 1: gathered all the supplies i needed.
-white 100% cotton tees from walmart - they were only $4.99
-rit dye tinte (fabric dye) from michaels -i wanted rose pink and gray
-elmer's blue gel glue
-water resistant board
-bucket to dye
Step 2: preparation
- run the t-shirt in the sink under cold water and then wring all excess water out
-have water resistant board ready to put inside of shirt
-and bucket for dying when ready
Step 3: the art
- stretch shirt across a water resistant board before you start writing on wet t-shirt
- i used a storage tub lid, it worked perfectly
- write or draw whatever you want on the t-shirt
- arti wanted lyrics from "colors of the wind"; i'm going to use the lyrics from "good life"
Step 4: drying and dying
- wait until the glue is completely dry!
-then get a bucket of cold water and put dye according to how dark you want the shirt
-be careful, you don't want to get dye on carpet or other fabrics
- wring excess water and hang to dry (in shower)
Step 5: original and you
-enjoy your shirt!
This was so easy to do. And I loved how it turned out. Can't wait to start mineeee!!! Hmmm, this could be a great gift. Thoughtful and fun :)
