shirt: made by me, skirt: Old Navy (old), sunglasses: Target (in-store only), watch: Target, bracelet: Etsy
My pinsperation came from this photo of Mila Kunis. This was my first attempt at using fabric paint, so I decided to go with a fitted shirt from A.C. Moore that was $2.50. I didn't want to buy a super nice tee and then mess it up. My skills proved me wrong and I should have gone with a nicer tee. (:
TUTORIAL - 1960's MOD black and white stripe tee
Materials:
- white tee (wash and dry prior to painting)
- fabric paint
- foam brush
- 1 inch masking tape (I used frog's tape I would NOT recommend it, it's not as sticky as masking tape)
- cardboard or magazine
- iron
Directions:
step 1. tape two parallel lines on the front of the shirt and near the midsection (masking tape on image). find the center of your shirt near the collar and place one 1 inch strip of tape down the middle.
step 2. using small pieces of 1 inch tape, use as spacers to have each additional strip one inch apart. repeat until you have 6 white boxes to paint.
step 3. try the shirt on and make sure the height / width of the boxes are where you want them. adjust as necessary.
step 4. place cardboard or magazine inside the shirt to protect the back of the shirt.
step 5. paint boxes with a dabbing motion with a foam brush, let dry for 30 minutes and then paint boxes again with a swiping motion.
step 6. let dry 24 hours and heat seal with an iron if your fabric paint requires it.
