DIY Polka Dot Silver Glitter Shirt

Ever since I made my dino shirt, I really have wanted to decorate a couple other plain shirts that I had sitting in my closet. I got it in my head that I wanted to do a polka dot shirt...so I did.

All you need to make your own is fabric paint (this is what I used) and a rubbery wine cork (like Barefoot wines). Just dip the cork into the paint and put it on the shirt. You might need to do a couple layers to get the look you want. I think I had to do about three coats. I also just eyeballed the placement but if you could always use masking tape to double check your spacing. Let each side dry for four or so hours...then it should be wearable...and washable! 

A Little House Stamp

A while ago I made a flamingo stamp out of an eraser and have been wanting to do another one for a while. I saw an adorable idea over on Pinterest and decided today was the day to make my own little house stamp.

DIY Dinosaur Print Sweatshirt

Time: 2 hours total?
Listening to: Birdy
Drinking: Two buck chuck

I saw this shirt from Zara and was convinced that I could make one myself. My first step was procuring a cheap shirt from Old Navy. I then proceeded to wear that shirt once just in case if I ruined it with my fabric paint. After being satisfied in my wearing experience, I decided to get to it.

I first traced a dinosaur I found from a good ol' Google search. Then I cut it out in some foamy material that I found. I had some leftover fabric paint from this project so I decided to use that. It is a dark blue so I was so scared of messing up some place and then ruining my soon to be dino shirt. But, after a few sips of my wine and some encouraging words from my hubby...I painted and printed away.

It took a while as I tried really hard not to mess up. Also, I ended up having to use my paint brush quite a bit to do touch ups because I was a bit stingy with the paint on my stamp. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, though!

Just how pleased?

This pleased.

Enjoy! Let me know if you make any of your own dino shirts!
