DIY Foodie Tees

This past Sunday, my sister Amanda came over to make some food-inspired t-shirts with me and have dinner. We each picked out our favorite foods (mine is ice cream and Amanda's is pizza!) and made up a tee to go with it! It was fun working on a a craft with my sister. She is so unbelievabley creative and talented! In fact, I drew the outline of my food and let her handle the rest because she was doing such an awesome job on her own! Here's how to make your own.

supplies:

cotton t-shirt (we picked ours up at Target)
fabric paintfabric markerscardboard or posterboard that can fit in the shirtclips and/or rubberbands to hold the shirt in placepaintbrushes

First, put the piece of cardboard inside the t-shirt to seperate the front and back layers of the shirt. Clip in place or use larger rubberbands to keep in place. Outline the food you want to draw. We just free-handed ours, but you can definitely trace something instead! We used the fabric markers to outline ours and did it very,very lightly, but you can probably use a pencil as well.

Trace the outline a darker and with more purpose once you have a light sketch of what you want made up.

Next, using the fabric pain, shade in your sketch. You may need to go over the outlines again with the marker.

Then, enjoy your food tee! I've used both this paint and these fabric markers before and they haven't faded in the wash ever, but be careful with the kind you use and maybe even test them on a different piece of fabrice before using.
