The other day, my little girl found some Sharpie markers and colored all over her pajamas. I tried, unsuccessfully, to get it off. So, I figured, if the marker stayed that well on her pajamas, they would be great to use to make a fun new shirt.
I made this design out of vinyl and applied it to the shirt.
I filled in the letters using the side of the marker and light strokes to minimize bleeding.
Around the sun, I just used dots. Right around the vinyl, the dots are close together and I spread them out as they got further away.
I removed the vinyl and used a hot iron to set in the marker. There was a tiny bit of bleeding when I washed it, but overall I think it looks really good.
Permanent markers will work differently on each type of fabric, so make sure to test a hidden spot before you begin.
Hi Angie! I love this and so perfect for summer! Visiting from i heart nap time and pinning. Have a happy weekend!
Adorable!! Love it!
Cute! I bet you could use freezer paper for the stencil & save the vinyl 🙂 I'm gonna have to try it!!
Don't you love it when something good comes from an accident!
I love this dotty technique and used it for some greeting cards a little while ago – it's so simple and the effect is lovely. great design btw thanks
