I did something REALLY cool today. Okay, a few days ago, I was reading the Craftster website, and chanced upon a forum discussion on doing t-shirts. I was like, totally interested!
So when I came home from school today, I went to print the design(actually just a Franz Ferdinand logo) on a piece of rough(as in cao-gao) paper. Then I used a pen-knife to cut out the stencil. Afterwards, I just randomly picked out a really old white t-shirt that still looks new because I only wore it once like 3 years ago and started painting on it with acrylic paint.
The first one is with the stencil still on it.
The second is without the stencil, but not dried yet. But it still looks the same now that it's dried.
The logo is quite big, at the bottom right hand corner of the t-shirt. I LIKE IT! heh heh... 'Cos it's a FIRST time, I did some really dumb stuff... but of course, you'll gain experience thru' trial and error! Yeah, so...
TIP TIME: recap of what really dumb mistakes I did.
-Used really thin paper
-Rough paper...(and mine was printed on one side with some heavy blue-ish ink)
-Dipped the paintbrush in water
So, that's it. Hah hah.. That t-shirt really stinks after so long. Truly. It stinks.
Now, I REALLY REALLY hope the ink doesn't fade after washing. I ironed it with a cloth on top, to set the paint. Well, it's my first test. So it's okay if it looks SO messy. Time to stock up on plain t-shirts!!! It's so much cheaper if you just use acrylic paint and do these stuff than to go buy a printed Franz Ferdinand tee for $30+++! lol.
