In this post I will be talking about fun accessory called t-shirts. I will be talking about how you can make these for you and your brides mates for your big day and even use these t-shirts later.
I know I am super excited to be able to wear “bride to be” and “wifey” t-shirts and to buy some for my brides mates. However, I have been looking for some to buy and it is just so expensive! This is money that I just don’t have with paying for the wedding. These are some of the t-shirts that I was interested in.
Below is a way that I found to make your own t-shirts and a big way to save money. I am going to be trying to make these over my spring break in two weeks. I will share with you the results but for now I am going to tell you what you will need and how to make these in your own home.
Things you need:
- V-neck t-shirt
- Printer
- Exacto Knife
- Fabric Paint (choose a color)
- A dabber paint brush
- Piece of card board
Now that you have these supplies, you can start to make these do it yourself t-shirts. Print out a word like “Mrs.”, “Bride to be”, “Wifey” or “Maid of honor” is some examples.
- Make the font size as big as you want it on your t-shirt.
- Once you print this, take the exacto knife and cut of the letters, keeping the negative space untouched like it shows above.
- Put the cardboard inside of the shirt so you don’t have the paint bleed through to the other side.
- Now put the paper onto of the t-shirt where you want to have the letters appear.
- Take the dabber brush with your selected paint on it and dab in the cut out space for the letters.
- Let it dry for at least 24-48 hors.
Now you have saved money but have cute t-shirts for you and wedding party!
