How to Paint On Kids' T-Shirts?

Answer 1

Apart from being an interesting and fun thing to do, painting designs on your kids’ T-shirts is a moneysaving activity. You can make their T-shirts look more special and personal if you learn this craft. Here is how you can go about it.

▪ The first step is to get the things ready. The main thing is the T- shirt itself. It is ideal to go for plain colored tees. The color itself does not matter actually, but lighter shades will reflect the paint in a better way. The other things you will need are fabric paints, brushes, a sheet of cardboard, a flat surface to work on and a pressing iron. ▪ Prepare the area where you will be working. Clear the area and lay newspapers so that the surface does not get damaged. ▪ Lay the T-shirt on the surface, making sure that there are no creases in it. The surface where you want to paint should be facing upward. ▪ Now, you have to put the cardboard inside the T-shirt. You may have to cut it so that it fits in. ▪ Unleash your hidden Picasso now. Paint whatever you want on the prepared surface of the T-shirt. You have to paint just as you do on a sheet of paper. ▪ Once the painting is done, leave the T-shirt as it is for drying. This can take several hours. Make sure that the T-shirt isn’t disturbed at all while the paint dries. ▪ If you want to paint the other side of the T-shirt too, you just have to turn the T-shirt and repeat the procedure. However, it is extremely vital that the first side dries completely before you turn it over for the other side. ▪ After this side dries too, press the T-shirt with a pressing iron. The temperature should be set at a medium point.

Your T-shirt is now ready. Gift it to your kid with a warm smile.
