Altered Tee


I've seen some super-cool altered t-shirts and aprons worn by Club Scrap members at past retreats. I keep forgetting that I have this option to think outside the "sheet of paper" and use my materials to create wearable art!

This was one of my favorite basic white t-shirts until it made very unfortunate contact with a drop of soy sauce. (Grrrr!) It was destined for the trash, but then I made a rescue and decided to try something artistic with the Versailles Masking Stencil. I mean, what did I have to lose?

1. Insert cardboard into the shirt to protect the layers of fabric. (Use a CS® Pizza Box!) 
2. Choose a mist. Test the nozzle in a separate area to make sure it's working properly. Place the stencil on the shirt, and spray!

3. Remove the stencil and place onto a protected work surface. Press a clean sheet of paper onto the misted stencil to create a secondary piece of artwork.

4. Add more mist, if 'ya like.

5. Stamp additional images onto the shirt. Heat set with an iron or heat tool.

I hope you go ahead and try this for yourself. It's so fun 'n easy, you won't believe it!
Thanks for checking in!
