DIY American Flag T-Shirt

DIY 4th of July Flag Shirts⁠!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Supplies:⁠⠀ White T-shirt⁠⠀ Cardboard⁠⠀ Masking tape⁠⠀ Red & Blue fabric paint⁠⠀ Craft sponge⁠⠀ Star stickers⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Instructions:⁠⠀ Place a piece of cardboard in between the two layers of the t-shirt. This will prevent the paint from leaking to the back of the shirt. Use masking tape to section off the star portion of the flag and to make the white stripes.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Use a craft sponge to dab on the red stripes.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ After the paint has dried, pull off the tape, and put new tape around the outside of the star section of the flag. This keeps the blue from mixing with the red stripes. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Fill the star section with star stickers, making sure to press down firmly. This way, the paint can’t bleed under them.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Dab with blue paint. Make sure to dab enough paint around the stars so that the star shapes can be sufficiently recognized. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Wait until dry, and then remove stickers and tape. It looks like a real flag now!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
