Lost in Laundry

Thursday, February 10, 2011

But I could see why you might think so:

After seeing a lot of craft blogs talking about using freezer paper stencils on fabric, I decided to give it a try. The boys had this old shirt with a stain on front, so I used it as my "trial run."

When I texted an image of my project to my friend Cheri, she replied asking, "Are you anti St. Patrick's day?" Hilarious! But I have nothing against March 17th. In explanation for a skull and crossbones shirt in that shade of green... The boys school mascot is a pirate; and the shirt, regrettably, had green sleeves in a shade that I happened to also have in paint. Thus, the green skull was born.

Now that I've seen how easy it is, I'm totally making Lauryn a L-O-V-E shirt for Valentine's Day. So easy, we can create it together as a mother-daughter project without me wanting to pull my hair out!

valerie in TX had this to say:: Totally cute! What kind of paint did you use?; February 10, 2011 at 3:05 PM
Starr had this to say:: I just used acrylic, but you're "supposed" to use fabric paint. I just kinda wanted to see how the process worked with this one, with stuff I already had. For next time I'll use fabric paint.; February 10, 2011 at 3:07 PM
