Festive Light & Star Shirt
This shirt has been one of our most popular - everybody wants one!
|
What you need:
- Zim's Christmas Light stamp
- Zim's Pointy Star stamp
- Zim's Little Star stamp
- ZimPaint: Red, Yellow, Light Green, Blue, Black
- A white cotton tee-shirt, sweatshirt or other garment
How to make it:
- Paint the bulb with a bright color. Paint the base black. Now you can stamp
both colors at one time! Stamp a lop-sided string of lights. Move down a few
inches or so & do some more in the same way. Finish all the bulbs of
that color, then wash & dry the stamp, and switch to a new color.
- To keep your rows straight, fold up the hem of the shirt, and use it as
an easy guide!
- Don't stamp any yellow lights. Save yellow for Point Stars stamped between
your strings of lights.
- Use yellow "Little Star" stamp to handily fill
in any leftover areas - it's a great trick!
- If you like, you can substitute Christmas Trees for Big Stars, or use them both!
- As always, let your shirt dry a bit, flip it and stamp the other side. When it's
dry, iron it to heat-set. After that, the colors will stay bright and permanent -
they can even be bleached!
