DIY t-shirts are where it's at!

Hey, how is Tuesday going? Personally, I love Tuesdays. They are a breath of fresh air after my manic Mondays, and they usually involve macaroni...which I will be making shortly, in fact, right after this post.

Fact: college kids are poor and can't afford high end clothing, or at least this college student can't. While browsing Pinterest I keep seeing these amazing printed sweaters and cardigans with the cutest animals on them, but when I look them up online the average price is $200. Say WHAT! No way am I paying that price for a sweater with a cute little fox on it! So, I decided to make my own cute printed clothing. Here's how:
1. I found a blogger who has free t-shirt prints that I could copy (that way I don't steal anyone's designs!).
2. I took a trip to Walmart and invested in some black fabric paint and a $2 white t-shirt.
3. I printed the image at the size that would best fit my shirt and then turned up the music and painted.
Here's how it came out:
Isn't it cute! It's a bear with a bow tie! This is the image I got online:
What can I say? I have an affinity for little animals with bows and hats and such. Anyways, I plan on getting a few more t-shirts and painting them with some really cool designs that I came up with. I am thinking a fox with a party hat on, or a camel. I don't know, just something really interesting and different. I encourage you to go make your own because I love seeing homemade clothing! It's so refreshing! k have a good rest of your Tuesday, loves, bye
