Selecting materials for painting
In order for the design to be of high quality and remain on the fabric even after washing, you must choose a durable dye, preferably acrylic-based.
Acrylic paints have a wide range of colors, are easy to use, do not fade in the sun and do not wash out over time.
So, how to make designs on a T-shirt with acrylic paints yourself?A unique, original and durable image can be applied to fabric by skillfully combining several coloring compositions: acrylic-based paints, waterproof spray paint and contour liners.
How to care for a cut T-shirt?
Raw fabric edges are a vulnerable spot. To prevent them from fraying, use the delicate cycle when washing. Set the temperature to the same temperature as indicated on the product label. It usually depends on the composition of the fabric.
Difficulties may also arise when ironing. On the other hand, no one forces you to iron all the intricate weaves of fabric strips that you have cut out.
Drawing on fabric at home
To draw a beautiful image or inscription on clothes you do not need to have artistic skills. With the necessary tools at hand, you can create real masterpieces.
Most often, craftswomen and needlewomen use two techniques for applying prints to fabric:
- Using a stencil.
- Using the knot technique.
To ensure that the paint lies evenly on the work surface, use a T-shirt made exclusively from natural materials, mainly cotton.
The maximum content of synthetic fibers in the composition should not exceed 20 percent. Before applying paint, it is recommended to rinse the product in warm water.

It’s a very tempting idea to turn an old T-shirt into a trendy outfit. See my best post on this topic HERE.
Below are a few more options for remaking old clothes, for example, how to sew an apron from a shirt
DO NOT HURRY TO THROW AWAY YOUR OLD T-SHIRTS, THEY MAY STILL BE USEFUL TO YOU!! )
AND ANOTHER MASTERPIECE IDEA TO DAMAGE A T-SHIRT AUTHOR Kashka
I present the promised MK for “damaging” a T-shirt.) This time I wanted something more.)) Sleeves were required. Well, it’s interesting to try what happens. Helpful advice. For weaving, knitwear with elastane that does not let the loops fall along the cut is most suitable. The more stretchy the knitwear, the more even the braid. It’s great if, when cutting “noodles”, the canvas itself rolls up into tubes, if not, it’s not too bad, you might get a slightly different, but also interesting result. Let's go...)) 1) Since there was nothing ready-made, I quickly cut out the base of the turtleneck, sewed the shoulders and sewed in the sleeves. Prepared for cutting. Here I must say, if you need a symmetrical pattern (no matter relative to the middle or any other line), then you need to fold the part in half relative to the line of symmetry. Of course, you can make a chaotic pattern and just vermicelli noodles)). . we listen to our soul and intuition and look further, or do it. Why wait, right?
2) I decided to start with the sleeves. At first I just wanted to cut strips. But there was no interest. So, leaves, but like flowers...) Since the shape is complex, I cut out a paper template (there are three here for clarity - what will be where) 3) I traced the template 4 )Now use a round knife-cutter to make slits according to the pattern. The width of the strips from 0.7 to 1 cm is the most optimal. But in general, there is no rule, maybe your knitwear will withstand 0.4 and 0.3 cm.) 5) The result is these “holes”)
If the knitwear is not very stretchy, you need to pull and roll the resulting strips in your fingers (my case) 6) Now the simplest part. If the intended “holes” are large, and we weave the strips long enough with our fingers. If everything is small, you will need a hook.
you get a braid like this. Did you pick up the dropped loops? This is it!)
7) I secured the last loop with a couple of stitches with a strong thread. You can also sew a bead and tie something... By the way, the loop can be attached to the base, or you can attach it to the last strip - the pattern will turn out different. Try it!
You can leave the braid like this, or you can push the loops to the edges. It will turn out like this
In the end, it turned out to be such a horror story.) And what do you think, were you scared?)
But we stretched it and ironed it! This is where all the beauty showed up...
Next, we straighten all these loops with our fingers and secure them with an iron. And if the knitwear is stretchy, then you won’t need an iron.
8) Cut the back and front
And we braid again. By the way, you can also tie a braid with crossed loops. Then it will stay in the middle and have a slightly different pattern. It is not at all a rule to make one braid. We can do two or three, and as many as we like (in the literal sense). We can do it without a braid at all. But the hell with it, we’ll braid it as we please. There are two different braids here. Spread simple and “crossed” in the center.
The pattern also depends on the beginning of the weaving and the width of this beginning. 9) Well, actually, the result.
I wish you pleasant viewing and the birth of new ideas!
MARIETTA'S INSPIRATION
Required Tools
In order not to be distracted while working, we recommend that you immediately prepare the necessary tools for work, namely:
- Fabric paints in the required shades.
- Ready-made stencils or thick paper for creating them.
- Glue for fixing the stencil on the fabric.
- Stationery knife.
- Masking tape.
- Film or newspaper to protect the surface from staining.
- Means for protecting the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes and nose - gloves, mask, goggles.
What can be made from a large T-shirt: a beautiful pattern without threads and needles
You will need:
- t-shirt
- scissors
- ruler
- chalk
- rivets.
1. Using a ruler and chalk, draw straight lines to the right and left of the collar. In this example there are 11 lines.
2. Using scissors, make cuts along these lines.
3. Make one cut at the bottom of the T-shirt, on the left or right.
You can tie the halves in a knot:
4. Using rivets, start connecting the strips that formed on both sides of the T-shirt (at the top).
Using the knotting technique to apply a design to a T-shirt
- Create a template of the desired image and select suitable paint colors.
- Cover the surface with newspapers or oilcloth, securing it with tape, and lay the T-shirt on the surface, carefully smoothing out all the folds.
- Crumple the fabric in several places and fasten with threads to form small knots.
- Shake the can of spray paint and coat the prepared area of the T-shirt with it. This technique allows you to partially paint the canvas, creating fancy patterns.
- Leave the T-shirt to dry completely.
- Untie the knots and complete the image with strokes of multi-colored paints, if desired.
If you apply a design to a white T-shirt with your own hands, then choose not very bright shades, for example, yellow, blue, light green, pink, and so on. This color scheme will look restrained and, at the same time, attractive.
A do-it-yourself design on a black T-shirt may contain more saturated colors - blue, red, purple or contrasting white.
