DIY Permanent Marker USA Muscle Tank

 


Happy Independence Day! If you’re big into the holiday and celebrate on more than just one day a year or if you have some fun holiday parties to go to then this easy shirt is the craft for you. It is easy enough that kids can do it as a science project and cool enough that adults can rock a really great looking shirt.

Materials:
            White T-shirt
            Permanent Markers
            Spray Bottle
            Rubbing Alcohol
            Fabric Paint
            Sponge Brushes

Start by sticking some cardboard in the shirt so the marker doesn’t steep through, and begin coloring in the shirt however you like with your permanent markers

Then use the spray bottle to spray rubbing alcohol all over the shirt and let it sit until it is dry.

I used a small pair of scissors to cut a round sponge brush into a star shape. Then use a flat sponge brush and the star sponge brush to add stripes and stars to your shirt. 


I used a clear confetti glitter fabric paint to paint on the stars and stripes so that it wasn’t too distracting from the markered color.



Wait for the fabric paint to dry and cut off the neckline, hemline, and sleeves before you rock your new muscle tank. Check out this playlist to have great music to accompany your great shirt. 

What color combinations would you love to see with permanent marker art?
