Rainbow Shirt

I've always wanted to print my own patterns on my shirt. To support me, my mom bought some plain shirts from giodarno for me while they were on sale a while back. I didn't know what to print on them until now. :)

All you need is:
fabric stamp ink
stencils of your design
sponge
shirt
ruler

First, Place some scrap paper between the shirt.

Then place a ruler on your stencil, which is placed on your shirt. This way, you can align your design to the ruler to make sure your design is straight and evenly spaced.

Use a sponge to dab the fabric stamp ink onto the shirt.

Finally when you are done, iron the shirt with a piece of paper over your design to turn the ink on the shirt into a stubborn stain. :)

Now, you are your very own shirt designer! It's a good gift too! Gives the boring shirt-gifts a funky twist.
