I love those quirky prints that are trending these days - I love those owls. And so, here's another pretty straightforward DIY for you guys with a free printable stencil.
Here's what you need to do:
Download the template here. Print on freezer paper, then cut along the outside line. Iron it on your shirt, then paint it. I used a kitchen sponge (cause I like the finish more than foam brushes) - it makes the paint look more vintage-y. To make it semi-cloudy like mine, mix 1 part white fabric paint with 1 part black acrylic paint and make sure you don't mix it well - you want to leave some white and grayish strands. Then proceed to dab it onto the shirt with your sponge. After it's a bit dry, add your dots - I used the eraser end of a normal pencil. Blot the excess paint with paper, wait for it to dry, and iron to seal.
Ooh, sorry for the quality of the photo above - my brother has shaky hands *sigh*.
Well what do you think folks? You know what to do *hintcommenthint*! Have a swell weekend!
AWW!! sO CUTE!! I am printed this out and making one!! Thanks for the template! xoxo I LOVE LOVE LOVE OWLS!

DeleteLove this..thanks for the template! Am I the only one who is getting the instructions in one vertical line?
ReplyDeleteno problem! and what do you mean by getting them in one vertical line? well, it's not really a problem is it o.o
DeleteThis is awesome especially because I made a tshirt design recently but I didn't think to use a sponge or blot out the excess paint - both of which would have been nice to do. I'm going to try that next time, thanks for posting this :)
