I was finishing up making Conner's birthday decorations for next weekend. One last project was his birthday shirt. I saw this cute idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. Here is my finished product:
It was super simple. Here is how you do it. You will need: a t-shirt (any color other than white), bleach, water, a spray bottle, double sided tape, a grocery or trash bag (depending on the size of the shirt), and some cardboard cut outs. Put the bag in between the shirt to prevent seepage of bleach. Stick cardboard cut outs to shirt using the double sided tape (make sure you get them flush, otherwise you get funky lines.. just check out poor Mickey and Goofy). In the spray bottle, fill it up to be 3/4 bleach with 1/4 water. Spray away! It's best to do this project outside. #1 it dries faster and #2 so you don't get a killer headache. Wait until side 1 dries (approximately an hour). Flip over if you have more stuff to add on the back (you can see I did Conner's jersey style). Pull off the cardboard cut outs and there you have your very own personalized shirt! Each color shirt has a slightly different affect.
Here is where my project got messy. It's super windy/dusty outside today, so I had to do this inside. I had Chris try to open the windows and one of them broke! It still had a paint seal and we had never tried to open them before now in that room, so the force made it shatter. The emergency maintenance guy came and put cardboard on it and they are sending the glass guy out tomorrow to repair it. Haha. Good story for the future.
Love, Me.
