DIY Valentines Day Craft: Glitter Tie and Bow Tie Tees

Either tee would look cute dressed  up with a  blazer and some leggings. The stencil templates are included in the tutorial for your convenience. Make sure you allow more time for drying as the glitter fabric paint tends to take a bit longer. Enjoy!

GLITTER TEE SUPPLIES

Supplies:

  • Plain white kids tee
  • Freezer paper (you can find it in the grocery store next to the waxed and parchment paper)
  • Print out of stencils: You can download the tie image here
  • and the bowtie image here
  • Exacto knife
  • Cutting mat
  • Glitter paint for fabric
  • Foam brush
  • Iron
  • Paper bowl or plate

DIY GLITTER TEE

Cut a piece of freezer paper and place under your stencil. Tape both to the cutting mat. Cut out the stencil through both pieces with an exacto knife, I used a straight edge to help make that cut.

GLITTER TIE TEE

Remove the stencil from the inside of both pieces of paper. Throw that inside piece out. You’ll need the  piece that’s left.

GLITTER TIE TEE

Iron a piece of freezer paper onto the inside of the front and place on the ironing board as shown.

DIY TIE TEE

Iron the stencil onto the center of your tee. An easy way to find the center is to fold the tee in half length ways before and iron along the fold beforehand.

DIY TEE

Squeeze some paint into a small container or paper plate and brush the paint into the middle of the stencil onto the tee. You might need to do a couple quotes.DIY TEE

 

After it dries (the glitter kind of fabric paint takes a lot longer- allow a couple hours), peal the freezer paper off the front and insideDIY TEE

 

Repeat the process to make the bow tie if you’d like.
