Is anyone else ready for sweater weather? We’re in a fall state of mind here at Tulip, so we’re all about this cute custom quote art tee! In this tutorial, we show you how to paint shirts with stencils and Tulip ColorShot Instant Fabric Color. Get out your ColorShot and your pumpkin spice latte and get ready to get colorfully cozy.
What you need:
Tulip ColorShot Instant Fabric Color – fall colors of choice
Stencils of choice
Paper towels
Painter's tape
Scissors
Disposable plastic surface cover
Freezer paper or shirt form
Before spray painting your shirt, first wash and dry it without fabric softener. Cover your work surface with a disposable plastic surface cover. (Make sure you’re working in a well-ventilated area.)
Insert a shirt form or piece of freezer paper in between the layers of your shirt to prevent any fabric spray paint from soaking through to the back side. Place stencils onto your shirt and tape down around the edges to hold in place. Cover the surrounding areas with paper towels to protect from any accidental overspray. Tip: If using multiple stencils close to one another, you can trim the edges of the stencils so they can be easily layered.
Spray light coats over the stencil openings instead of heavy coats. ColorShot can be blended on fabric to mix colors or create a nice ombre effect! Let dry between color applications.
Once you’re happy with your paint coverage, remove the tape and stencils and let the fabric spray paint dry completely.
