DIY Heart T-Shirt

There's nothing quite like the feeling of 

waiting till the last minute. 

I've had the shirt for 3 weeks, 

and bought the paints last week, 

but yet here I am finally 

finishing my daughters Valentine's Shirt.

I started it on Tuesday, and just now got 

around to taking the pictures of her in it.

Yep, I know, I know I'm a PROCRASTINATOR.

At least I admit right?

Well anyway, this shirt was super easy to do, 

so let me walk you through it.

First, get a color t-shirt of your choice. 

Then, get two similar colors of paint. 

A base color and then a similar matching 

glitter paint. The ones I got were 

Magenta by Craft Smart and 

Turmalina colored Glitter acrylic 

paint by Martha Stewart .

Then on my cricut machine I cut a cute 

heart out using plain clear contact paper.

If you don't have a cutter, you could also print out a heart

 and trace it onto your contact paper.

Place the heart in the center of your shirt about 

2 inches away from the collar. 

First I painted it with the magenta color.

Then I let it dry for about 6 hours, 

it was still ever so slightly damp, 

but dry enough to apply the glitter paint.

I applied 1 coat of the glitter paint.

I let it dry for about 2 more hours and then 

applied one more final coat.

It wasn't fast, but is was super easy, 

and now my daughter 

has a new shirt to wear tomorrow.

She'll be wearing it over a black long 

sleeve shirt so she stays warm, but she 

can still wear it in the spring and 

even the summer as well.

Thanks so much for tuning in!

Until Next Time...
