[SimplifyMe] cute & easy t-shirt
On Friday I showed you how I made the shorts {you can check them out here},
& now I'll show you how I made this super cute & easy shirt to match! :)
Yes, this is another project your kiddos will LOVE to help out on!
You'll need a plain t-shirt. {I just used one we already had.}
Put a piece of cardboard inside your shirt just in case the paint bleeds through later on.
I cut a vinyl stencil out using my Silhouette.
I made a 7 inch circle & then put my daughter's name inside using the Howser font.
Apply your vinyl to the t-shirt. Make sure you smooth it down really, really good.
You don't want any air pockets or edges not pressed down all the way.
I used hot pink paint & this cool little paint brush. :)
When you apply your paint you want to tap, tap, tap.
No brushing it back & forth. Just tapping. :)
You could probably get by with one coat of paint. I did two just to be sure.
After your paint is completely dry carefully lift off your vinyl stencil.
I was really amazed on how good a job the vinyl was as a stencil.
Now I've got all kinds of projects whirling around in my head. :) The possibilities are endless. :)
