DIY graphic sweater

Remember about a month ago when I asked you a super important question on this post...?

The verdict was that a tutorial on how to paint your own graphic sweater is much needed. 

So let's get started!

What you'll need:

~paint brush

~sweater or t-shirt to paint

~fabric paint

~design you want to put on your shirt

~pen to trace design on your shirt (I used a sharpie that was the same color of my paint)

Okay now,

 make sure you have a design in mind that you want to do. I used a stencil this time, but for the other ones I cut the shape out of paper and traced it on the sweater.  

These are the three designs I've done thus far...

How To:

1. trace your design on shirt

2. paint in design using fabric paint and paint brush

3. you may need to do a second coat, only if you feel it's needed. I did on the heart and deer head, but not the squares.

4. let sit over night

and..... WALA!

A perfect way to spruce up an old sweater :)

I would love to see what you come up with. e-mail me some pictures at caitlynrenshaw@gmail.com :)
