No-Sew Multi-way, Summer Tank: DIY

This No Sew tank is similar to a couple of other no-sew tanks I have done in the past, but  is designed and cut differently and because I am completely obsessed with palm leaves right now I experimented with a positive and negative design  which creates a shadow effect.  I am thinking my next project will be palm leaves in different bright colors like Hot Pink or Neon Blue.(80'sStyle)  I seriously LOVE this new fabric Color Shot spray by Tulip.  It has cut my time making stencil design T-shirt in Half and with the limited time I have that is a super big plus for me.

This shirt has already found a new home 

as one of my dear friends said she would love to have it 

for her beach trip in July, so  bye bye shirt.

 Oh well I guess I will just have to make another one ;) .

Things you need.

T-shirt *this one is a XL Hanes Comfort Blend

Scissors

Tulip Color Shot  Instant Fabric Paint in White, Green and Neon Green

Homemade Stencil 101

Color Shot

First things first, lets cut up our shirt into the shape.

Using a piece of chalk or a pencil trace this patten

front and back

Cut on your lines.

Now you just tie the front and the back together.

Super easy right?

I make a lot of the stencils that I use for my projects,

mostly because I never can find exactly what I am looking for.

 I did a quick tutorial on how I do that 

HERE

On this project I used both the positive and the negative stencil to give it a little shadow effect.

Tulip Color Shot instant Fabric paint has seriously made my DIY life so much easier.

I first placed the negative stencil down and 

I used the white Color Shot paint and sprayed around the stencil. 

I did that all over the shirt.

Let that dry completely about an hour.

*Tape some paper around my positive stencil to block the over spray. 

 *Spray the  Color Shot Green then go back with the Neon green

 in the middle of your leaf to give it a little 3D effect.

 *Repeat that until you get the look you desire.

Let dry completely.

Then wear.

To wash this you should let your paint set up at least 24 hours.

 Wash in cold water hang dry

This is a muli-way tank because you can tie this up and create so many different looks.

Here are just a few ways I have done it.

The Regular Tank

The Criss-Cross

The Front and Back Tie

How many looks can you create?

I did a  similar tank for I Love To Create not to long ago.
