Screen Printing your own T shirts with Freezer Paper

You've probably seen this sprinkled around the web on various blogs and how-to sites. But, Meg and I thought we'd try our hand at it. What's so nice about this project is, you can make just about any image you want (depending on what you want to tackle), its cheap and even kids can get involved. What you'll need... ~freezer paper (not wax paper or parchment) cut into 8.5x11" to fit into your printer ~fabric paint (got mine at Joann's Fabric store, they were 50% off...woo!) for the first step, you'll need to find an image you'd like to use. With an X acto knife, cut out the part of the image that you want to become the painted part...in a sense, turn it into a stencil. Place your cut out onto your t shirt wherever you'd like it to be. Now, with a dry iron (heated up to the highest setting for the type of fabric your t shirt is), iron your image down. Looking at the original image, I started painting Gir. And finished! Hope you found something to inspire you!

Book Nerd | Dreamy Colours Book Nerd Olá! Primeiro quero dizer que estou oficialmente de férias! Há uma hora atrás tive o meu último exame Não correu muito bem mas tou de férias não interessa! Bem ao ler alguns dos meus posts podem ter reparado que adoro ler! Era uma antiga t-shirt que nunca usada e tingi-a com lixívia. Para ser sincera não estava muito preocupada em ficar com defeitos por isso apenas cortei o papel e pus onde queria que as letras ficassem, não usei nenhuma fita cola ou papel de contacto xD A minha mistura foi 1 parte de lixívia para 2 partes de água. Acho que vou fazer mais destas t-shirts com outras palavras! 11 Responses to “Book Nerd” Malu Dini (Malluh) says: %A %B %e%q, %Y at %I:%M %p Caaaath! Tudo bem, menina?

the DIY: SHOE HANGERS So I've been trying to come up with a solution to my shoe problem. That problem being that I don't have my flats and sandals organized in a way where I can get to them. You see, I live in a super super tiny room and my shoes were basically shoved into boxes. It hasn't been a problem until now since the warmer weather is suddenly upon us. I had seen this tutorial on Pinterest a while back and had mixed feelings about it. While I love the idea of making your own shoe hangers, I could never figure out how I could have extra hanging space in my closet (I value that small space way too much.) I used these Drip-Dry hangers from Walmart and some pliers/wire clippers. Cut the hanger towards the ends. Using the pliers and your hands, bend the wires downward. About 1/3 of the way down, bend the wire back up. Half of the way down bend the wire again upwards. I figured out a way to use the bottom part of the hanger rather than throwing it away. Bend the wire into an "A" shape like above.
