4TH of July quick shirt

It's here, the 4th of July. You can make a tee shirt, buy one of those cute $5.00 special screen print shirts. Bass Pro shop had some really cute ones in their print ad.
last week for the famous $5.00 price.

You will need some fabric paint, glitter and maybe some sequin. If you don't have colors in Red, White and Blue. Go to your local craft store. Get whatever tickles your fance.


Pre wash the shirt & dry i in the dryer making it ready to wear. Put some aluminum foil behind the the section of shirt you want to put paint on. (this will protect the back side of the shirt). Cardboard will work very good for this purpose, you can buy a cardboard paint board are available to purchase at the craft store, if you plan to do this type of craft idea later, say for Halloween or Christmas.

Already to go for it......Put paint on the screen print, say red sparkle fabric paint on the red portion of the shirt, outline the red portion of the shirt. At this time you could also put some sequins, what ever you like. Then you can paint other parts of the design on the shirt. You are basically coloring inside the lines of the shirt print.

Remember you are making this shirt to sparkle and shine on the 4Th of July.
Let the paint dry, don't wash the shirt 4 several days, whatever, the maker of the paint suggest.

Go enjoy the 4th and stay safe.
