Made It: Cardboard Stamps Pt. II

I made the first part of this post several weeks ago, but had to wait until after Valentine's Day to share the rest with you because the original shirt was a present for my Valentine!

Here's what it looked like as I got my supplies organized:

I did not design this shirt.  I saw a picture of one like it and thought it was so awesome and perfect for my Dave.  Romantical, isn't it?  <3

And here's my tiny boy in his Valentine's shirt:

Made It: Cardboard Stamps

Just made this little cutie for my small boy.  It actually was inspired by another project, but that one is going to be a secret for now.  You can adapt it however you like!

Materials

cardboard
blank shirt
acrylic paint
fabric medium
paintbrush

I'm sure you could also use many different materials.  I'm just using the ones I had, though you definitely should use some type of fabric paint or fabric medium so that the image will stay on your clothes when you wash them.

It's pretty self explanatory I think... cut out your design, paint it, stamp it.  My first design I applied paint several times and carefully pressed down in the same spot, because I wanted better coverage.  This one I was cool with it being a bit more rustic looking.  I also found that the cardboard absorbed some of the paint, so a couple of layers worked better than just one.

PS- I also made a heart printed shirt, lest you may be thinking this boy is going to be too into scary things like skulls and zombies.  He's also into love!
