This project from Family Fun takes a little bit of time so plan ahead!
T-shirts were buy one get one free the day I was at the store so instead of trying my luck at the thrift store I bought new shirts for this project. But they didn’t have white shirts in my kids sizes so I went with black and a sparkly blue fabric paint. I like the way it tuned out but you can use whatever color shirts or paint you choose.
You will need
black marker, paper,cardboard, newspaper, cotton t shirt, tacky glue, sponge brush, fabric paint
1. Use a black marker to draw a thick lined snowflake template on the paper or download one at Family Fun
2. Place template over the cardboard and slip both inside shirt. You should be able to see the template through the shirt. Because we used a dark shirt we just used the glue tip and drew ours free hand using the template as a reference.
3. Using a thin line of tacky glue-about 1/4 inch wide-trace your snowflake design. Let it dry for 10 mins then fill in any gaps with additionl glue. Let the glue dry completely until it is transparent. We left ours overnight
4. Dip the sponge brush in the fabric paint and dab around the snowflake, completely covering the entire area. Use less paint towards the outer edge. Let the paint dry overnight.
5. Soak the tee in warm water for about 10 mins to soften the glue. Peel off the glue and let the shirt dry. Follow package directions to set the paint.
Those are fabulous! I’m not sure we have ‘tacky’ glue here, maybe it’s like PVA. Is it white? I guess you could do any sort of design, oh exciting!
These are great!
I love these! The dark colors look awesome!
