Galaxy Shirt

This galaxy shirt DIY is an easy to make and impressive addition to your closet! You are only a few steps away from an amazing out of this world shirt.

Supplies:

-Black shirt

-Fabric paints (Colors to make a galaxy such as: Navy, purple, red, and white)

-Toothbrush

-Makeup sponges

-Small paintbrush or pencil

                                   

Steps:

1.) First start with the blue paint and use the makeup sponge to dab on the color in patches around the shirt. This will be the begining of a grand adventure through space.

2.)Next, dab the purple around the blue but not on top of the blue. Overlap these two colors one inch in width.

3.) Then use the red paint to dab any space that is left in between the galaxy.

4.) Go back over your previous colors to make sure you have the desired brightness of each color.

5.)Make sure the paint is dried and then take a toothbrush that you have spread the bristles apart and coat it with paint. Make sure that it is only a thin layer or you will have clumpy stars!

6.) Gently dab the toothbrush on spots around the shirt to create your stars. Pick only a few spots to make the star galaxies!

7.) Add a few larger stars as crosses with a small paint brush or the tip of a pencil. 

8.) Dry with a hair dryer and then leave it out to dry overnight to make sure that it is completely dry before wearing.
