So yesterday i decided to customize a plain white t shirt i had. It came out quite well for my first try so i decided to share it! Enjoy ^-^

Instructions

1. 

   Firstly gather your things! I would recommend putting down newspaper and having a mug of water for your brushes. Oh and get an old cardboard box that's about the same size as your shirt.

2. Next you should draw your picture/text/design onto the contact paper. Nothing too complicated though. Afterwards cut around it and then cut out the inside. You'll need small scissors for that.

3. Get your cut out design and peel off the backing sheet so your left with clear plastic. Stick it onto your t shirt where you want it.

4. Now put the cardboard inbetween you top and start painting! Make sure you have enough paint to fill in your design. I used Dylon Fabric Paint from Boys but you could use any brand and color. (It's in the UK)

5. Do Step 4 as many times as you like depending on how you want your t shirt. Leave it to dry for a while and peel off the plastic. (That's my favourite part.) It will take a while to dry but it will look good when it's done.

6. Finally iron your shirt. Remember to read you paint instructions. Mine said to iron over my top with a cloth on top and using a high setting but some say to use grease paper or whatever. This stops it from just coming off when you wash it.. Now go wear your new awesome t shirt!
