Project Instructions
-
1Project time does not include neither the time to wash and dry the t-shirt nor the time for the markers to dry.
-
2Wash and dry t-shirt without fabric softener to remove sizing. Press t-shirt with iron.
-
3Download and print project template. Place template face up inside t-shirt. Place freezer paper under template inside t-shirt, waxy side up. Press lightly with dry iron to temporarily stiffen the t-shirt while using markers.
-
4Working in one area at a time, trace template as shown, using Pink for the slippers and then Orange, Blue, Green and Yellow as shown or as desired. Then apply a very small amount of water with paintbrush to blend the color, being very careful not to apply water anywhere that needs to remain White.
-
5Continue the technique until the entire design is completed, being careful not to oversaturate with water to deter bleeding of the markers.
-
6Let dry, or use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process.
-
7Draw over the design in areas that need sharper lines, if desired. Let dry. Remove freezer paper and template. Position mirrored image of pattern several inches apart from the first slipper and repeat steps 2 through 7 to create another slipper.
-
8Wash in warm water, gentle cycle with mild soap after 24 hours, line dry. Do not dry clean.
