I made them all Brooklyn shirts (ya know, in case they forgot where they moved from or also to let those Maine people know they are tough!) I pulled out the ColorArtz again (first time <a href=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/2010\/03\/23\/colorartz-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.testors.com\/category\/157269\/ColorArtz\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). I love using it and plan to use it more often (I just bought a big can of air too!). I learned my lesson the 2 previous times and really taped around the stencil (I used freezer paper) and used plenty of scrap paper. I did not get any overspray. I used a different color for each person. I even made one for Lennox but it is a bit big for her right now. I had grand ideas of putting a few images on the shirts but I was afraid it would be overkill so just kept it simple instead.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/brooklyncolorartz.jpg\" alt=\"brooklyncolorartz.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/brooklyn2colorartz.jpg\" alt=\"brooklyn2colorartz.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/allshirts.jpg\" alt=\"allshirts.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe gray one is for Layne. I couldn&#8217;t find a white pocketless T.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/closeup1.jpg\" alt=\"closeup1.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/closeup2.jpg\" alt=\"closeup2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also made a t-shirt for Nico&#8217;s birthday and finally put the t-shirt vinyl to good use. I bought a sample kit from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.craftvinyl.com\" target=\"_blank\">Craft Vinyl <\/a>and I love it! So easy to work with and I just noticed that he now has glitter and glow in the dark t-shirt vinyl! Fun! When I first bought it, I had a question and he had me call him on his 800 number to help me out. He is super nice!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/tshirtvinyl.jpg\" alt=\"tshirtvinyl.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nTraced out the letters and cut them out.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/vinylplacementnico.jpg\" alt=\"vinylplacementnico.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nI ironed them on and once cooled, peeled off the protective layer. It&#8217;s really easy to get off.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/robotstencil.jpg\" alt=\"robotstencil.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nNico likes robots so I stenciled a robot on the bottom. I had in mind to try out the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthsafefinishes.com\/green_gift_kit.html\" target=\"_blank\">Earth Safe Finishes kit<\/a> for the stencil but when I mixed it up, it seemed too watery to hold up so opted to go with the gocco fabric paint (<a href=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/2008\/10\/14\/sienna-wear\/\" target=\"_blank\">tried and tested!<\/a>). I plan on doing some tests with the Earth Safe Finishes for another post. I did use the Tackifier included in the kit to hold down the stencil. That worked really well and much better than using the stencil spray. <img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/nicoshirtdonesienna.jpg\" alt=\"nicoshirtdonesienna.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can see Phoenix and Nico wearing their shirts in my <a href=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/2010\/07\/04\/hugs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hugs<\/a> post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made some t-shirts recently and they were so much fun!
