Fool-the-Eye Tie
- Total Time Needed:
- 2-3 Hours
With a little fabric paint and a freezer-paper stencil, this tee goes formal with faux neckwear. Kids can easily design their own tie: the louder, the better!
- Materials
-
- Plastic-coated freezer paper (found in the food-wrap section of most supermarkets)
- Masking tape
- Craft knife
- T-shirt
- Iron
- Waxed paper
- Paintbrushes
- Fabric paint
- Instructions
-
-
Draw the outline of a necktie onto the non-shiny side of a piece of freezer paper.
-
Tape the freezer paper to a cutting board or surface and use the craft knife to cut out the shape (a parent's job).
-
Lay the stencil, shiny side down, on the T-shirt. With the iron on the cotton setting, press briefly all around the edges of the stencil until the paper sticks to the shirt (don't sweep the iron back and forth; doing so may tear the paper).
-
Slip a sheet of waxed paper into the shirt to prevent bleed-through. Paint your design, always stroking toward the center so that the paint doesn't seep under the stencil. -
Carefully peel off the stencil and allow the paint to dry.
