After sharing the Doily Heart Shirt<\/a> the other day I tried out a second version.
\nAnd absolutely hated it.<\/p>\n

But I also hate to leave projects in a state of awry and truly believe Tim Gunn when he says make it work<\/em>.\u00a0 So I did just that and I still wasn’t sure if I liked it till Lucy tried it on.\u00a0 Then those big metallic hearts made me smile.\"\"<\/a>Here’s where the mess started…
\nI thought: black shirt, metallic gold paint, lots of small doily hearts<\/em>.\u00a0 Cool right?
\nBut ew.\u00a0 The finished product looked like a cheap craft Ad from the 80s.\u00a0 Sorry.\u00a0 It just wasn’t my style.\"\"<\/a>But I couldn’t throw away the shirt (even it cost $3.50).
\nSo I grabbed more metallic paint and got busy.
\nNow typically when painting on shirts I use fabric paint (such as Tulip brand). But acrylic paints are a fun option because they’re inexpensive and come in a ton of colors.\u00a0 However, they dry more stiff than fabric paint and may crack on clothing over time.\u00a0 UNLESS….you add a fabric painting medium<\/a> to the mix to soften up the paint!\u00a0 I actually haven’t tried it yet but I have a bottle ready for my next project.\"\"<\/a>Okay, here’s how I made the Metallic shirt…<\/strong>
\n\u2022 I laid a large piece of Freezer paper over the shirt<\/strong> (read more about freezer paper stenciling here<\/a>) and drew large hearts over the doily ones.\u00a0 I just eye-balled the size and didn’t worry if the shapes were uneven.\u00a0 I like an imperfect heart.
\n\u2022 I cut out the hearts<\/strong> with scissors or a craft knife
\n\u2022 Ironed the paper to the shirt<\/strong> (with the shiny side of the paper down and with a cloth over the top so I wasn’t ironing directly on the paint)
\n\u2022 I painted the hearts<\/strong> with various metallic colors (make sure you have a piece of paper in between your shirt so paint doesn’t seep through to the shirt back)
\n\u2022 Dried the paint<\/strong> with a hair dryer, peeled it off, and voila!
\nMetallic hearts!\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I sort of liked the finished product.\u00a0 But still wasn’t sure if it was kind of a disaster, or kind of cool.\u00a0 So I pulled out some accessories (clearance leggings from the GAP)….\"\"<\/a>And decided I really liked it!\u00a0 (and the price tag too).\"\"<\/a>Now we have two Valentine’s Day options.\"\"<\/a>Hope your Monday is off to a great start!
\nI’m still home with a pregnant tummy.\u00a0 But thank you, thank you for all the fun comments you left last week.\u00a0 I can’t believe some of your stories!\u00a0 Makes me feel normal and ready for when the time comes.
