DIY: galaxy t-shirt
February 20, 2013
This is probably my favorite DIY so far! It's surprisingly easy, even though the painting part looks hard. So let's get started!
Supplies:
-white, blue, pink, purple, and black paint
-masking tape or painter's tape (I used painter's)
-scissors
-black t-shirt
-a place to get messy in!
Directions:
1. Tape off a shape (I used a triangle) with masking tape on your shirt. This makes sure you will have clean, easy lines when you end.
2. Paint the area inside the shape white.
3. Using a sponged brush, paint thin layers of "blobs" with light pink paint. Sponge this but make sure it looks abstract and not painted.
4. Still use the sponge brush to paint blobs of purple, then blobs of blue.
5. Use black paint to sponge around the areas where there is white (you can leave some white if you want to, I just sponged it all out.)
6. Splatter paint making sure not to get it on the shirt (but if you do, carefully wipe it off with water), and paint stars where you like.
7. Cut the sleeves off or leave them on.
8. Take the tape off and accessorize!
*** To wash this, hand wash because eventually the acrylic paint will come off with a few washes.
Enjoy! If you make this, leave a comment with the link and I will check it out!
