iLoveToCreate: Reverse-Stencilled & Spray-Painted Shirt

This is a great, fairly easy way to uniquely personalize a shirt!  My friend Brooke, co-owner of the fabulous Uptown Kids sale (a twice yearly consignment event held here in Fresno), came up with this idea and I have to say it seems to have worked out well!

First she decided that she wanted to rock a fun and unique shirt with her business initials... UPTK.

Supplies:
Tank top style shirt (or anything you would like personalized)
Tulip brand fabric spray paint (your could use several colors if that suits your fancy)
Vinyl - cut using the Silhouette machine
  • Choose a font and size that will work well for the letters of your shirt, then cut out your vinyl using your Slihouette, Cricut, or trace and cut with scissors.
  • Peel letters out of vinyl and place on your shirt


  • Cover your work area and spray fabric paint liberally around the stuck-on letters and around shirt until you have the desired effect
  • Peel off vinyl lettering and enjoy your creation!



Thoughts:
  • Wouldn't this be a great craft for a kids party or camp? 
  • I thought the spray paint gave the shirt a cool effect and you could have a variety of outcomes depending on the amount of spray you want to use.
  • The vinyl worked really well and provided nice crisp lines... no bleeding paint!!
  • Add some spray glitter for a little more pizzaz!
**Thanks for sharing your idea Brooke!  I'm sure you will enjoy wearing it at this fall's consignment sale!!**
