Hi everyone!
Today it’s my (Monique’s) turn to post on myStampBOX blog!!
I want to show you a fun technique I recently used: stamping on t-shirts!!
I think everybody has them: plain t-shirts without a single print on them. When my youngest son complained about one of them it hit me!! I would turn his boring green (or white or any other color) t-shirt into a funny one!!
Here’s what I did:
I gathered all the items I needed: the t-shirt, a piece of cardboard, my myStampBOX stamps (Road Trip), a solvent ink (in this case I used StazOn) and an acrylic block:
Before I got started I put the cardboard inside the t-shirt to smoothen the surface on which I was going to stamp to ensure a clear stamped image:
Then I chose my first stamp and stuck it to my acrylic block. Before I stamped on the t-shirt I tried a few times on a piece of paper first and then I stamped on the t-shirt:
I repeated this step with a few other stamps I liked:
And in the end the result looked like this:
Of course once I started decorating one t-shirt I couldn’t stop!!
I got out the next stamping sets “Abundant Blossoms” and “Colorful Companions” and an orange t-shirt:
and then a white t-shirt…. and then my Posca pens…. and this is the result:
and my son????
He’s very happy with his “new” old shirt!!
This is it for now! Hope you liked it!! And don’t forget: if you give this fun technique a go too, please leave me a comment with a link to your post!!
Please, don’t forget to check back here tomorrow to see what Tina has created for you!!!
Hugs, Monique
WOW! This is absolutely fab! Love your idea!!
Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what a great idea! The t-shirts look fab and I love that you always find new ways to use your stamps….. super!
those are fabulous! awesome idea!
I would love love love to try this, but does the staz-on ink wash off? I suppose I can try it on a piece of scrap cloth and throw in the washer and see what happens, eh? Well, now I need to rush out and buy a lot of plain t-shirts!!
WOW how weird is that ?! Two weeks ago I sent my project pictures as june guest dt member with a step by step to Bettina with exactly the same idea and same stamps ! Monique and I have the same really really good ideas I guess…
cute tees, Monique. My kids would love them too!!!
total cuteness!
Freakin’ awesome Monique! Another fabulous way to use your stamps!
Thanks everyone, for your lovely comments!! And I’ve washed my son’s shirt in the washing machine a few times now and the stamp is still perfect!!! (although after one season I guess it will get lighter though…. but at this age he doesn’t wear his clothes for more than one season anyway, LOL!!!
Great tutorial! Will definitely try this one
Fantastic idea for sure! Love the coloring you did. I have to check out those pens.
I especially love that green shirt – the stamped images and design are so cool in a graphic sort of way. Very fun!
THis is going to be a cheap summer, buying just plane t-shirts and get those stamps out! Wooohhhoooo wonderful tutorial, thank you so much for sharing! You are the best!!
this is such a great idea!!
Thank you for the tutorial, Monique. I love the idea of stamping on fabric, but have been unsure how to to it – now I know.
I was a bit surprised to learn that the good old Stazon is suitable for this – thank you for showing!
LOVE THIS!!! Anyone know how we could do white stamping on black T-shirts??? Think that would be cool!
quelle bonne idée les tampons sur les tee-shirts ! Ca me donne une idée pour relooker mes tennis de l’an passé. Merci
