when i go thrifting, i like to keep an eye out for plain shirts that fit me in a cute way (& aren't completely hideous) so that i can do my own designs on them. i usually just use sharpie or paint. recently, i came along a plain dark blue long sleeve shirt & bought it. i did some research (on pinterest, etsy, etc.) to find inspiration. i decided to go w a cali-girl theme since i was born there
i used a mixture of fabric puffy paint w regular acrylic paint bc i knew that puffy paint doesn't help when you're trying to do neat letters. in the upper left of my shirt, i had a circle inside of a circle. the inner circle says "cali" while the outer circle says stay golden. the sleeves say "west coast" "best coast" which i liked since it rhymed (& is true). on the back of the shirt, i decided to draw the state of california w palm leaves in it

painting all of this on the shirt took me about 2-3 hours while watching gossip girl. i really like the end result, although i don't think i'll get to wear it any time soon w the weather in texas
