Understanding The Basics: Gather Your Tools
Before we dive into the wonderful world of animal prints, let’s make sure you’re fully equipped for this wild adventure. First things first, purchase blank t-shirts from Threadsy. It’s important to have a couple of extra t-shirts on deck in the case you want to try out different patterns or styles! Our recommendation would be Comfort Colors Style #C1717. This 100% cotton t-shirt is wonderful for crafts and DIY projects, such as this one. It’s important to choose the right fabrics that will go splendidly with your favorite animal print designs.
To make this transformation happen, you'll need tools and materials. Raid your arts and crafts supply stash for fabric paint, fabric markers, stencils, and the glorious interior decorating agent - bleach! Lastly, make sure you have a trash bag and gloves to utilize to ensure your wild crafting doesn’t get on any furniture.
