My first attempt at Freezer paper painting

I finally decided to take the plunge after my friend showed me how easy it was to do, thanks Leann :) So Here it is in all it's glory I am sorry there are a ton of pictures on this one, but when it's your own kiddo you can't help it, so bare with me.

I love for my boy clothes to look more trendy  rather than cutesy, and I think that is hard to pull off sometimes. My awesome friend Leann had this picture of the Aquabats a music group from the 90's and I fell in love with it immediately, I Stenciled that baby on and then free handed the lightning bolts and used a plate to trace out the giant circle, I suck at free handing a circle. And then did the same   thing on the back of the shirt. More circles and lightening bolts. 

I decided to get really creative and use embroidery floss on the lightening bolt and at the top of the shoulders to give it that extra texture and trendiness I love.


I also just wanted to take a moment to give my victory speech and add that I am in love with a product that takes any acrylic paint and makes it into fabric paint like magic, it is amazing!!!!!!!! It is called Textile Medium from Delta Ceramcoat, It is somewhat hard to find as it wasn't in the paint section, and even the fabric paint section wanted to keep it hidden probably due to all it's incredible magic powers, I finally found it hiding in a lower shelf all by itself conceled. It was definitely worth the hunt.

  

Cougars have ruined my son because he is a fan just like his daddy!!!!!

The front side

So I wanted to make an original t-shirt for my son who loves to be like daddy and bleed blue, I am so disappointed but at least my other son still loves mommy and will wear red.   

I don't like paying a ton for licensed merchandise so I was terrible and used the logo to make my own. But in all defense I free handed it. And it was super cheap, looks very much like a masculine shirt thanks to my husband who came up with the saying UTES ARE YUMMY.       

 

All you need is a bleach pen or bleach paint brush whatever you have on hand. An old towel to use in between the shirt so it doesn't bleed through. And make a stencil or freehand your design. Paint the bleach onto the shirt and wait awhile, I didn't have a clue on when it was done and hence am not a patient person and used my hair dyer to speed up the process. Works great. Then I threw it in the wash and it actually worked like a charm, I was so pleasantly shocked that it didn't disintegrate into my hands. I know it may not be the best tutorial but it really will workout in the end, just don't spill in random spots. All ready for the big game. 

Finished project, the back side.

Yes he has a glow stick on his face, he thought it would make the pictures better
