Stamping fabric is nothing new, but that doesn't mean the technique should be thrown on the back burner. This project is less about stamping fabric, and more about revamping a plain long sleeve tee and making an easy, affordable, customized stamp. In total, my stamp only cost $.47!
Some days you want to throw on a tee, a good pair of jeans, and comfy boots. As much as my comfort level loves this look, my fashion sense does not. Taking this long sleeve tee and giving it a pretty pattern gives it a more trendy look without sacrificing its comfort factor. Take a look below on how I created my feather stamp...
Supplies: Foam sheet, fabric paint, plain tee.
Pantry Supplies: Scissors, pen, test paper, hot glue gun.
Begin by drawing a feather on the foam sheet. I drew mine by hand, but if you're not confident in your drawing skills, simply Google feather silhouette or feather clip art. // Once you've drawn the feather, cut it out, adding small slits to create texture to the feather. // With the remaining foam, cut it into small rectangles, slightly larger than the feather, and glue them in a stack with the feather glued on top. Test out your stamp on paper before moving onto the shirt. // Once you're satisfied with the stamp, start revamping your tee!
I finished off this look with a pretty necklace and my favorite jeans. This type of outfit is comfy enough for a photo shoot in the great outdoors, but nice enough for a coffee date with clients. Have you revamped any clothing with this technique? Leave a link! I'd love to see.

great idea, and love your necklace!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! I plan on spicing up some 'boring' long sleeves very soon, because for 47 cents, even someone who is in the middle of her pour twenties can do it! Your style is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLoving this DIY! Will try this one out.
ReplyDeleteI work at a craft store so I can get all of these supplies for a cheaper price! I love this idea, it's so simple but it makes the shirt look so fashionable and more expensive. You could make so many different stamp designs too. This would be cool for Halloween or Christmas designs.

ReplyDeletewhat?! Totally looks like you bought this at some super fancy boutique. Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLove this so much... the feathers are very realistic! Did you remove some foam between each barb to achieve the look, or is it enough to cut a slit and the ink won't stamp there? Thanks for the awesome tutorial as always!
