So, I have 5 of the same workout tank in different colors. I love them because they are lightweight and never shrink! Anyways, because all of them are plain, I wanted to add a little ‘pizazz’ to a few of them so…
I saw a can of spray paint in my garage. It was fluorescent pink! What? Why would I have fluorescent pink in my garage? Well, it’s from the workers that came and put our yard in last summer. They use bright-colored spray paint on the dirt to mark off all the lines underground. Sweet! Free spray paint!
I figured fluorescent paint will show up on mostly any color. So first, I made a stencil. I had 12×12 paper in my stash. I free-handed my own funky heart then cut it out of the paper.
Next, I took a garbage bag out of my pantry. I traced my heart stencil onto the bag, then cut out around the heart. Make sure to leave about a quarter of an inch around the actual tracing.
After this, I placed the heart paper on top of my garbage bag, the I duct-taped the edges so that no paint would get through. This becomes your stencil, it completely covers your shirt so that it won’t get over-spray on it!
Lay your shirt underneath your stencil, and lay those on top of your drop cloth, or in this case, a cardboard box, because I was unprepared. And yes, my garage floor now has pink over-spray. My husband is very pleased.
Here’s a little tip: Don’t spray too heavy!! In fact, the lighter the coat, the better it turns out. If you put down too thick of a coat, your heart will be hard and crunchy. A light spray will do.
Pull your stencil off and you’re good to go workout in your awesome new, heart shirt!
TO WASH:
You can wash this shirt just like normal! As long as you wash it in cold, it should be just fine. I have washed this shirt about ten times now and I’ve had no problems!
Love this idea!
cute cute cute!
Where did u get your tank tops?
