We do a lot of DIY here at The Daily Adventurer. You name it, and we've probably crafted it. Except kitten mittens - those are crazy hard. Some of our favorite things to make are t-shirts and once we discovered the secret ingredient that is Elmer's Craft Bond Spray Adhesive, there was not stopping us. We happen to adore tees with snappy sayings and "I Can't Adult Today" is not only one of our new favorite phrases, it's also our status roughly 65% of the time. So we pulled out an old purple shirt and some pink paint (going for an 80s vibe) and got to work to create our own. Here's what we did: Materials: A shirt (we recommend grabbing one from your closet or a thrift store) Craft paint (we like Apple Barrel and Delta Ceramcoat) Sponge roller Card stock Scissors Xacto Knife Tape of choice Pencil or Printer Self-healing mat Newspaper Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 TIPS:
When spraying adhesive it is best to do it outside or in a well ventilated area After spraying, let the stencil sit for a minute before applying - this will make it easier to remove later Slide a piece of cardboard between the layers of t-shirt to keep paint from bleeding through Pour paint onto a paper plate so that your paint roller gets an even coat Be gentle when removing the stencil; use a pin to help lift up corners
