FontCrafts Exclusive: Fabric Spray Paint Number Tank

swelldesigner — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:43:31 +0000

Here’s a fun and super easy fashion DIY project that only takes a few minutes to make and is unique as you are! It simply only takes a few things to get the look! Here’s how!

What you need:
– White 100% Cotton Tank Top
– Tulip Fabric Spray paints in various colors (I chose purple, pink, and red)
– plastic numbers available at the dollar store or craft store (I got mine at Michaels)
– plastic tablecloth or trashbag

What you do:

Before you begin, lay your plastic down to protect your work surface.

1. Lay out letters randomly onto your shirt.

2. Use Tulip Fabric Spray to randomly spray over numbers. I let it drip in some areas and overlap colors.

3. Remove letters. Flip over or get a new sheet of plastic wrap and lay the front facing down. Lay down letters again on back and spray.

Let dry for 72 hours. Wash and dry separately.

These subway art dresses by My Inner Need to Create has to be the cutest little dress project I’ve seen in a while. So many times people are taking things out of fashion and onto the wall, but this is the other way around! Her step by step directions are easy to follow and I love that they are personalized for each of the girls. Sweetest thing ever!

5 Fab & Fun Bottlecap Craft Ideas

I simply adore bottlecaps. I’m not one to drink a lot of bottled beverages, so I don’t have a unique stash of interesting caps myself. I have always dreamed of having a little collection though! I can’t think of any better way to display a collection than turning it into a craft! It makes for an instant showpiece! Here’s some ideas that might just inspire you to get your bottlecap craft on!

Bottlecap table from Melissa Stover on Picasa. Don’t you just love how they are organically arranged? The colors have a nice flow too!

A cool bottlecap windchime from Flickr user Pianista.9. Hmm, I wonder what their chime is like? The arrangement is beautiful music for my eyes. Haha!

These quick and easy bottlecap magnets from Better Homes and Gardens always look great! Would be a super great gift idea on a budget!

You can’t go wrong with a sassy pair of bottle cap earrings! I like the styling of these by Amy Cluck for A Beautiful Mess.

And I’m loving this mod mirror created with recycled bottlecaps. Adds a vintage vibe to any space!

How sweet is this appliqued love onesie by Finley and Oliver? I love the color combo too! Super fun and could be created for everyone in the fam. I can just imagine cheesy holiday photos with everyone wearing their own personalized name on their chest!

Font Nerd T-shirt

I am very much a Font Nerd, so this shirt from My Girl Thursday resonates very loudly with me. All you need are some basic tools for freezer paper stenciling and some fabric paint (I recommend Tulip® Softs available at your local craft store). So, let’s collectively yell our love for fonts from the rooftops. It’s the nerdy thing to do!
