Make a Shirt ...


To Start: 1 x plain white shirt, 1 x black fabric pen, 1 x ruler, 1 x compass and pencil, 1 x textile medium, 1 x magenta acrylic.


1. Align up a triangle on the shirt using the ruler and pencil, be sure to wear it and check that the points are were you want them to be. 2. "Pencil" a line from the phallic point to the base so there is a dividing line. Then using the compass and pencil start by making a circle roughly in the centre, where the circle crosses the centre line, put the compass on there and draw a new circle, continue drawing circles where the pencil crosses until the triangle is complete.



3. Your ready to mix up some Textile Medium and some paint. 2 - part paint, 1 - part textile medium. Go over the lines with fine paint brush. Be sure to put some newspaper in between the shirt so paint will not mark the other side.


4. After the paint has dried (probably give it a few hours just to make sure), use a black fabric pen and trace around the triangle to define the edge.

5. Put a piece of news paper over the shirt and iron it for a few minutes, because the textile medium and fabric pens work on heat set.
Finished! Try it out and make sure that your happy with it, or sell it:)
