Every time, choosing gifts for friends or relatives, you want to give something extraordinary, original. Unfortunately, having bought a little thing in a store, there is no guarantee that the hero of the day does not have one, or that someone will not come with the same gift. There is one simple way out - to make a gift with your own hands.
There are a lot of options for what exactly can be done using only your golden hands and imagination. Let's dwell on how to make a drawing on a T-shirt. To do this, you need to prepare the most ordinary cotton T-shirt, and then proceed according to simple rules to translate what was conceived into reality.
1. First you need to decide what should be shown on the T-shirt. A drawing can characterize both a person's personality and his professional sphere, contain just a comic drawing or a self-portrait, there are many options.
2. With good artistic ability, you can easily create a drawing yourself. But if drawing is not your thing, do not despair - you can find a great variety of pictures on the Internet, as well as in magazines or books. It should be noted that the paper on which the drawing is applied must be thick. It is important that the color scheme of the picture is in harmony with the color of the T-shirt and its texture.
3. Make two stencils. Taking the first of them, carefully cut the drawing along the contour.
4. Those parts that are supposed to be in a different color should be cut out on a second stencil.
5. To apply a pattern to a T-shirt, you need a super-resistant paint that can withstand washing and will not spread over the fabric. As a rule, such paints are fixed by ironing. Wear gloves to avoid getting paint on your hands. Before applying paint, flatten the surface of the T-shirt using a sheet of cardboard. And finally, apply the first stencil to the selected place on the fabric and paint over it with the desired color.
6. After waiting for the paint to dry, lay out the second stencil and also paint over it in a different color. We are waiting for the paint to dry completely, fix the drawing with an iron and that's it, the masterpiece is ready!
There is another way to apply a pattern using special paper and an inkjet printer.
First you need to purchase the necessary materials. In addition to the T-shirt, we need special paper for inkjet printers, with the help of which we make transfers to things. We chose AVERY 3275 8 1/2 '' x 11 '' paper. You will also need a color inkjet printer and an iron.
Let's start writing the picture, after which it is imperative to turn it over in a mirror image. The photo can be prepared in Photoshop.
We print the photo on a regular inkjet printer, choosing the mode with the best quality. Then you should carefully cut the drawing along the contours.
Then, on the pre-smoothed T-shirt, we put the inverted workpiece and begin to iron it with an iron, avoiding sudden movements, ironing time is about one or two minutes. Then we wait until our application cools down to room temperature and proceed to removing the paper, for this you can take tweezers, or simply pry with your nails.
As it turned out, drawing on a T-shirt is quite simple! After a few simple manipulations - we get an unsurpassed result. And most importantly, from the simplest thing, an original designer thing came out.
