Boy's Yacht Club Cool Shirt Tutorial

This is such a fun look, and so easy!

As promised, here is the tutorial for Gabe's triangle shirt.

You'll need:

Freezer paper

Ruler

Exacto knife

3 different colors of fabric paint

Sponge paint brush

Iron

First I used my ruler to draw parallel diagonal lines.  Then I drew diagonal lines going the other direction.  Then I drew perpendicular lines so I had triangles.

 With an exacto knife I cut out the triangles.

 I put the freezer paper triangles, shiny side down, side by side on the tee shirt.  Then I ironed them in place.  (As you can probably tell I made this tee from scratch, but you can do it with any old white tee.)

 I used a spongy paint brush to sponge on the paint.  I used the same paint brush for each color.  I did the lightest first, then the darker, then the darkest.  The effect is a slightly marbled finish.  If you want crisp, uniform triangles, wash your paint brush whenever you switch colors.

 Then I waited for it to dry.  That is the WORST!  I just wanted to see what it was going to look like!

When it was finally dry I peeled off the triangles and Ta-Da!  Make sure that after you peel off the freezer paper you cover the painted part with a piece of muslin and press it with the iron.  The heat will seal it.

I love this shirt paired with salmon shorts and a fedora, but it looks equally good with board shorts at the beach!  If you make this I would love to see photos!
