Galaxy Shirt

Galaxy clothing has become rather popular lately. I am way to cheap to go pay $20 or more for a shirt I could easily make at home.(With the help of pinterest of course)  I made my own shirt at home and posted it on Facebook, and my best friend texted me asking for directions. Therefore, I shall write a how-to blog just for her. :)

Materials:
Black T-shirt
Bleach
Water
Spray Bottle (I used a travel size)
Red, Blue, and White paint
Glitter Glue/Paint (Optional)

Step 1.
Slide cardboard in your shirt so the bleach does not soak through. Fill up a spray bottle with half bleach, half water. I barely used any of the mixture when spraying my shirt. You do not need a lot.

 I sprayed my shirt around 7 o'clock in the evening, and didn't rinse it with cold water until 10 o'clock in the morning. You obviously don't have to wait this long.

 Step 2: Paint time!

 Mix paint with some water. I used sponge brushes. I also used the red and blue to make a purple paint.

 Step 3: Sponge red paint around the bleach spots or wherever.

 Step 4: (I apologize for not having anymore good pictures; I had a lot of paint on my hands and did not want to touch the camera) Then blue, and purple. Basically, you just sponge paint into random places.  I also put white paint in the  center of the bleach spots to lighten it up.  I then dipped a paint brush (it is better to use a toothbrush I've heard, but I had no old tooth brushes) and flicked paint specks onto the shirt. I then dipped a sharp pencil into paint and drew x's and t's to make stars. I also took some silver glitter glue and brushed into onto the white spots.

 Later on that evening I decided that there just wasn't enough glitter. (I probably went overboard. Just a tad. :) I brushed red glitter glue onto the red spots in random areas, and blue glitter glue onto the blue spots in random areas.

I wasn't 'thrilled' with the overall product, but for the most part I like it. It was mainly the material of the shirt; I got it from Goodwill and it was a sort of cashmere like material. It was just weird. I'd recommend using a cotton tee.
