Read between the lines with this cute notebook paper inspired shirt by Maybe Matilda! Actually, you could also create a cute A-line skirt with this idea, an A+ back to school project! Find materials and fabrics here and get started!
You will need:
• A white tank, tee or fabric for an A-line skirt (and pattern) Note: This blog is to highlight the cute paper shirt/skirt idea, not a skirt tutorial.
• Fabric tape
• Cardboard or newspaper to work over and save your flooring
• Fabric paint
• Foam brush
• Iron
• Ruler
• Water
Leave a paper trail with these other fun ideas!
What to do:
• Lay shirt flat and use tape and a ruler to create the lines of the ‘paper’
• Place cardboard inside the shirt to prevent bleeding through
• Use the foam brush to paint on the blue paper lines (Pro-tip: brighten your blue paint with a drop of white acrylic paint)
• Allow blue lines to dry completely and rinse paint from your foam brush
• Gently peel the tape from the shirt once the paint is dry
• Place horizontal strips of tape where the red lines are to be placed (again, you can brighten the red paint with a drop of white acrylic!)
• Paint the red lines and allow to dry completely
• The next day, turn the shirt inside-out and set paint in with an iron
Onesie great idea!
