| Remember the post for making your own fabric prints making stripes? Well today I will show you how easy it is to make your own picture or design as well. |
 |
| I grabbed the same white sweatshirt material, and using masking tape again (although I am sure freezer paper stencils would work as well) I masked off some numbers this time on the side of the pant leg. I choose my son’s birthday, he wanted pirate pants and I thought his birthday would mark his arrival into the code of pirates. |
 |
| On the other leg I masked off a really basic (and terrible) skull which my son requested. |
 |
| Then once again using Elmers WASHABLE glue, I painted the glue on the design. |
 |
| Then I threw it in a dye bath for only 4 min. again this time since again it reached he color I wanted. Washed it and made the sweat pants, just as I did in this post. |
 |
| Nice clean lines, without the hard scratchy feel that fabric paint can sometimes leave behind. |
 |
| And Jude the Pirate Dude had some new sweatpants to run around and play in. |
 |
| Which is good since he has some stick fights in his future.
Now go make some fun prints! Enjoy! |
