Tools and materials:
- Elmer’s glue
- A t-shirt
- Washing machine
- Fabric paint or dye
1. Design
Use your glue to carefully draw the shapes or designs you want to create on your shirt.
I made some cute little flowers. Be creative and have fun with your design!
Just keep in mind that the glue lines will create a barrier to the dye or paint, so plan your design accordingly.
2. Let the glue dry
Allow the glue on your shirt to dry completely. You'll know it's dry when it becomes transparent and feels stiff to the touch.
3. Add color
Once the glue is completely dry, it's time to add some color to your design. You can use fabric dye or fabric paint for this step.
If you're using fabric dye, mix it according to the instructions on the package. Then let the paint or dye dry.
4. Wash and wear
Place your shirt in the washing machine. Once your shirt has been washed and dried, you can proudly wear your unique creation!
