Game Day!

It's time for a rematch!

After getting beat in Raleigh back in January...it's time to show those wolfies what it's all about over in Cameron Indoor. Bring on the game.

To celebrate-I had a project in mind that I wanted to do.

One of the ideas that I got from Pinterest it refashioning some thrift clothes. I found this shirt at the Salvation Army store here in Raleigh. It's a cute Ann Taylor Loft black shirt and it was perfect.

               

I got the shirt for about $5. Brought it home and washed it. Then I layed it out on newspaper (just so I didn't get paint all over the kitchen table) and put wax paper inside the shirt between the two layers. This helps to keep the paint from seeping through onto the other side.

Here's the shirt before....layed out and ready to start.

I used Tulip fabric paint from Michaels and a foam brush with a round tip. Then I just went to town making the dots on the shirt. I tried to keep them somewhat evenly spaced so that it looked organized but I didn't measure it out or anything. After letting it dry overnight, I did the back side of the shirt and made sure I had gotten the sleeves as well.

You are supposed to let it dry for 72 hours before washing and I thought it would be better if I washed it before I wore it so I didn't smell like paint.

Here's the final product!

And here was my inspiration from Pinterest just for reference.

As I have a list of projects that I've found on Pinterest that I want to try, I should be busy for the next several months. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

In the meantime...GO DUKE!
