Night Sky Tees
- Total Time Needed:
- 1-2 Hours
These glow-in-the-dark T-shirts may be the ultimate evening wear. Although they require some daytime preparation, they make a fashion statement long after the sun goes down.
- Materials
-
- Black or navy blue T-shirt, pre-washed
- Con-Tact paper
- Cardboard Fabric paint (we used white and silver glitter) Foam paintbrushes
- Glow-in-the-dark paint (we used white, orange, and green)
- Cotton swabs
- Instructions
-
-
On the Con-Tact paper, trace a round plate for a planet or draw a waning moon and stars.
-
Cut the shapes from the paper to create a stencil, then peel off the backing and press the stencil onto the shirt.
-
Insert a piece of cardboard between the shirt layers to keep the paint from bleeding through.
-
Use a paintbrush to fill in the shapes with fabric paint (we used white for the planet and moon, silver glitter for the stars).
-
After the paint dries, add a layer of glow-in-the-dark paint (we used orange for the planet, white for the rest).
-
When that paint is dry, peel off the stencil.
-
Add green glow-in-the-dark rings to the planet.
-
For small stars, use a cotton swab to dab glitter-paint dots onto the shirt.
-
Follow the fabric paint instructions for setting the design and washing your shirt.
