The design on this shirt is so delicate and sweet, you'd never guess how easy and quick it is to make.
by Catherine Newman
What you'll need
- prewashed t-shirt
- doily
- glue stick
- newspaper
- fabric paint
- foam stencil brush
Helpful Tip:
* For the best results, use a toothpick to remove those stubborn paper bits from the holes of the doily before using it. When painting, don't overload the brush, and tap it straight up and down onto the shirt.
How to make it
1. Place newspaper inside a prewashed T-shirt so that the paint won't bleed through.
2. Coat the center of the back of a doily with a thin layer of glue stick. Press the doily onto the shirt, sticky side down.
3. Pour fabric paint into a shallow dish. Using a foam stencil brush, dab fabric paint all over the lacy part of the doily as shown.*
4. Carefully peel the doily from the shirt, then let the paint dry. Set the paint according to the manufacturer's instructions.
