Butterflies are one of my favorites :)
I bought it instantly......

However, I was not so happy with the tan and orange colors it had.......
Butterflies are supposed to be colorful and vibrant!!!
So, I decided to revamp it.....
I colored it with acrylic colors- yellow and Violet and acrylic pearl color- blue.....

DIY T- Shirt Painting- Ben 10

T-Shirt Painting

Hi and welcome to my post on T-Shirt Painting.......
My son is a Ben 10 fan, and he was looking for a T-shirt with Ben10 and his friends together.....
And even after scouring all the kids garment shops, we couldn't find what he wanted..... :(
He was disappointed and so, to cheer him up I decided to make him a t-shirt with Ben 10 and friends....
We bought a plain green t-shirt.....
We finalised a design of his choice from one of his coloring books.....
After tracing it on the t-shirt, I painted it with acrylic colors (Fabric colors)......
You can see it in the picture below.....

I finally outlined the whole picture with fabric color- black.....
After letting it dry for 24 hours, I ironed on the reverse to fix the colors......

I also added a little spunk to the tee by painting on the back.....
This is the design on the back......
