I've been craving to use the Tulip Glow in the Dark 3D Paints for Halloween, but I wanted to do something really cool and not cheesy. This is what I came up with...I took a black fitted T-shirt and slipped it over a cardboard form and taped the back with clear tape so the shirt wouldn't slip.
I then pulled out my favorite paints!
I used a piece of chalk to outline where I wanted to make the first line. After that, I just kept adding rows of designs. It took a couple hours. I suggest a good chick flick to keep your mind entertained as you make dot after dot after dot...Every so often I would hold it up to make sure it was all evenly spaced. I let it dry for several hours.

After that, it was ready to go. I love how it turned out and I'm really looking forward to wearing it out at night to a party or just goofing around with my friends. I think it would be really wild to do a whole pair of jeans like this too.Craft on! Click here for our giveaway!





this is AMAZING!! how fun and creative! you have definitely inherited your mom's talent!! :) lucky you!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery Very nice. Fun idea.
ReplyDeleteI like to use plastic clothes pins to keep my t-shirts taught while painting them. Also if you do a little circle motion when lifting the fabric paint tube from your dots, there will be less of a pointy peak to them. That is how I get my braille dots to be so smooth and uniform ;)
What an inspiring idea! Keep up the great work, and please visit www.facebook.com/CanadianRAISED
