I love white shirts, I also like coffee, you know what happens when you mix them together? yeap, disaster. I know there are many recipes on how to remove stains, but I actually didn't noticed I had stained my shirt with coffee until it was too late and impossible to remove it. This shirt was in the donation bin and then I remembered I had stencils and fabric markers, so I decided to stencil my shirt. I liked the outcome and I think I'm going to go to the store and buy more stencils, I have one more stained white shirt I don't want to get rid of just yet.
What you need:
Shirt
Crayola markers
Stencil
Iron or dryer
Sheet of paper
Here is my shirt with the coffee stain..
Close up
Materials needed
Place the sheet of paper under shirt to prevent color from bleeding. Place the stencil on your shirt and carefully color with marker, saturate the fabric with the color. You may want to hold on to your stencil as you color in to prevent it from moving.
Once you are done coloring remove the stencil and let it dry for a couple of minutes. After each coloring you may want to wipe off your stencil so that colors don't blend on your next picture.
Once it's dry iron your design for 4 minutes on high heat setting or stick your shirt in the dryer for 30 minutes (by itself).
Finished product!
There's many varieties of stencils, the possibilities are endless and it's fun and quick to do. Hope you like this tutorial! Have a great day!

I was just researching how to paint on fabric. Have you heard of Deka fabric paints? If not, look them up! Love your shirt!
Oh wow! That's such a great idea! The finished top looks amazing!
Madelynne I haven't tried the Deka fabric paints, I hadn't even heard about them but now I'm curious! =)
Thanks!
