Wait, you don’t even know what tie-die is. I mean, you put rubber bands on your shirt and then dip it in the die? What? 😐Anyway...
Do you have an old t-shirt that you no longer wear? Maybe you have many. You could just like fashion design, arts and crafts, or...you’re having trouble getting rid of one of your favorites. Or maybe you're curious as to how some "designers" make over-sized and plain-looking t-shirts their own--because it looks so good on them, while yours looks--well--over-sized and plain. (Don't worry, that was me, too.) Regardless of the situation, these ideas are easy, kind of fun, and budget-friendly.
1. Place a Cool Picture or Words on It
If your t-shirt is plain, you can try this idea for a pretty low cost and easy to get items. What you do is, first get a hand-crafted image or small pattern (say, a free online picture, your best drawing, etc.) save it to your computer, and using a sheet of heat transfer vinyl paper, print it. Then, get your t-shirt on an ironing board, heat up your iron (I'd do a low or medium setting, but of course, follow the instructions given in your HTVP packet), put the paper on the shirt (usually, it's with the image facing downward onto the fabric), and place the heated iron on the paper. When ready, slowly remove the paper, and you get your image printed on your t-shirt. How cool is this?! When done, depending on your style, you can add more images on other parts of the shirt, like the sleeves or the bottom, even the back, and get an even more unique look. And if you really want to be fancy, try HTVP sheets in different colors, or the glitter sheets. You'll love this idea so much, soon you'll be buying whole rolls of this stuff. Thank me later.
2. Cut It Up
3. Paint It
4. Turn It Into an Open Shirt
5. Dress It Up
What's your favorite? Have you tried any of these before? Which one?
